  In 1-quart saucepan, mix all Caramel Syrup ingredients except vanilla. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Heat to boiling, and cook until syrup is thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Syrup will thicken upon cooling. If it becomes too thick, return saucepan to low heat for a few minutes until soft.
