Ingredients
The following ingredients have 2 Servings
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup ((this is the stuff at the store and is different than the nasty high-fructose corn syrup manufacturers use))
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons whiskey (preferably Scotch whiskey)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instruction
- Heat the brown sugar, corn syrup, water, salt, and heavy cream in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add the whiskey and vanilla and simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly. Store any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a few days. (You'll want to reheat the butterscotch sauce in the microwave in 10-second bursts or in a bowl placed over but not touching simmering water until you reach the desired consistency.)
