- Slowly pour the mixture back into the pan, whisking to combine.
- Pour the filling into the tart and place in the oven at 325 for 25-30 minutes or until set.
- Make the caramel
- Heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- The sugar will begin to form clumps and will eventually melt
- Once the sugar has melted completely and turned brown, add the butter.

- Add the cream. Boil for 1 minute then
- Remove from the heat and add the salt.
- Allow the caramel to cool along with for about 15 minutes.
