Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup bourbon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Preparation
Step 1
1. Mix both sugars and ½ cup water in a heavy large saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and stir until sugar has dissolved. Brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush and cook, swirling pan occasionally but not stirring, until caramel is amber in color, 8 to 10 minutes. Watch caramel carefully, as it can burn very quickly.
2. Remove from heat; add cream and butter (mixture will splatter). Stir until butter has melted. Return to heat, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, until thickened and golden blond in color. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and salt. Serve warm or at room temperature, or transfer to a jar, let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks
