Rich Butterscotch Sauce

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Wonderful on cakes, ice cream etc. This sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated, just warm slightly before using."

 

• Ready In: 8mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 2 cups (approx)

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup dark corn syrup
• 6 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup whipping cream (unwhipped)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla

directions

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan combine first 5 ingredients; stir over low heat until both sugars dissolve.
2. Increase heat and boil until large bubbles break on surface, and sauce drops quickly from the spoon (this should take around 2 minutes).
3. Remove from heat; whisk in whipping cream and vanilla (mixture will bubble up vigorously).

Wish I'd made a sauce like this to include in the holiday gift bags I handed out last Saturday evening, but . . . THIS SAUCE IS GREAT & goes especially well when drizzled (along with some homemade chocolate sauce I'd made) over WHATEVER! So far we've had it with ice cream, & chocolate pound cake, & just a tiny bit over some vanilla yogurt! Thanks for posting this great recipe!
