Recipe Introduction

"This is a very rich dessert fondue recipe. It takes a little longer to prepare than the others, but it's well worth it. "

List of Ingredients

1/3 cup (about 3 ounces) butter
1/3 cup sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
2/3 cup corn syrup
1½ cups heavy cream
3 tablespoon Rum or Cognac (optional)
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans, divided


Recipe

In a medium non-stick saucepan, warm the butter, sugars and corn syrup until the butter has melted and the sugars have dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a low boil. Let it boil, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

Add the heavy cream. (You may find it easier to remove the pan from the heat while stirring in the cream.) Heat and stir for another 5 minutes. Stir in the Rum or Cognac, if desired, and pecans, reserving 1 tablespoon of the nuts for garnish. Transfer to a warm fondue pot and sprinkle the remaining pecans on top.

This recipe pairs well with pound cake, angle-food cake, marshmallows, and just about any fruit. It can be prepared a day ahead and warmed before serving. Serves 6 or more.
