Ingredients
- 2 cups Dixie Crystal white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/4 cup bourbon
Instructions
- In a large, heavy bottom saucepan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup over medium-low heat. Stir until sugar starts to dissolve.
- At this point, stop stirring and just gently swirl or allow to simmer. The mixture will start to turn into an amber, caramel color.
- Remove from heat and whisk in cream. Be careful because it spits a little.
- After cream is fully incorporated, whisk in the vanilla, salt and bourbon. Return to heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool before serving.
