Directions:

1. Prepare the Banana Bread:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

   • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar while stirring constantly until it turns a deep amber color.
   • Add the butter and stir until fully melted.
   • Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring, being careful as the mixture will bubble up.
   • Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sea salt.
