    Butterscotch Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Amy

    List of Ingredients




    4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
    1 teaspoon large-flake salt
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe




    Melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan (not non-stick) over medium heat.
    Add the brown sugar, salt and heavy cream and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until it's well blended. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping down the sides occasionally, and boil it for 4 to 5 minutes.
    Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the butterscotch sauce to a container to cool.

    Note:
    The butterscotch thickens significantly as it cools, so it's important to not over-boil it or you'll end up with chewy butterscotch caramels rather than a pourable sauce.
