Caramel-Rum Sauce

Submitted by Carmen B.

"Here is a sauce that is going to curl your toes up into heaven. You decide how to use it. Hot on ice cream, on hot apple pie, or even plain cheese cake. I used a dark rum, but maybe Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum could work also and kick it up a notch."

I botched a loaf of strawberry-banana bread and made bread pudding out of it... and this was the perfect topping. Not too "rummy," but very flavorful and sweet. I cut the recipe in half to use ingredients I have. I tried this one cause I never have rum flavoring or extract in the house and this was the first recipe that didn't use those... Glad I found this one! Thanks for the recipe.
