Source of Recipe


From "Williams-Sonoma: Cooking at Home"



List of Ingredients



• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  
• ½ cup heavy cream
  
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  
• 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
  
• 3 tablespoons Scotch whisky or water
  
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  






Instructions



1. In a heavy saucepan over low heat, combine the brown sugar, cream, butter, corn syrup, and whisky and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts, about 3 minutes.
   
   
2. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Continue to boil, without stirring, until the sauce thinly coats the back of the wooden spoon or a candy thermometer registers 224° F, about 4 minutes.
   
   
3. Remove the sauce from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and let cool slightly before using.
