Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (8oz/225g)
  • ⅓ cup butter (2 ½ oz/71g, room temperature)
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup dark rum (2 ½ floz/71ml)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the sugar and water. Over medium/low heat, stir allowing the sugar to fully dissolve but don't simmer.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, you can turn up the heat a little and bring to a simmer. Allow simmering undisturbed until it reaches a rich brown color, roughly 10-15 minutes. (Do not stir the boiling sugar, as this can cause it to crystallize)
  • When you have reached a deep brown color (but not smoking), quickly whisk in the butter, followed by the cream. (Note: the cream will bubble up once added so stand back.)
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the rum.
  • Allow the caramel sauce to cool completely before storing in a jar in the fridge for up to 6 months.

Notes

This sauce is fantastic to have to hand to spruce up any dessert like a sundae, roasted bananas, or on top of a warm brownie.
