List of Ingredients




1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Recipe



Combine sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high, boil gently, without stirring, until syrup turns a deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush and swirling pan (about 8 minutes). (Swirling the pan instead of stirring promotes more even cooking). Gradually add cream (sauce will bubble vigorously). Add butter; stir gently until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla.
