    Rum Butterscotch Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    From Ladies Home Journal Dessert Cookbook edited by Carol Truax (Doubleday, 1964).

    Recipe Introduction


    This really luscious, mouth-filling sauce keeps well in the refrigerator but should be taken out an hour ahead, or briefly zapped in the microwave, to soften it before use.

    List of Ingredients





    1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
    1 cup whipping cream
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 tablespoons light rum


    Recipe



    1. Place the sugar, corn syrup and butter in a small, heavy saucepan and
    boil over medium-high heat until it reaches 245 degrees, about 15 minutes;
    the coating on a spoon dipped into the mixture and then in cold water will
    have a gummy consistency.

    2. Stir in the cream, return to a boil and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20
    minutes, stirring occasionally.

    3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and rum. Let cool; then refrigerate
    until use.

    Makes about 2 cups.
