Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt and bring to a boil.
Cook, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula, until the mixture is thick and dark, about 5 minutes.
Pour into a 16 oz glass jar or two 8 oz ones. Unopened jars of dulce de leche can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 months. When opened, transfer into the refrigerator and use within three weeks.
