Instructions

Add brown sugar, butter, and heavy whipping cream to a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Whisk until smooth over low heat. STOP STIRRING and bring to a gentle boil.
Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat. With a clean whisk, stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Let cool at room temperature until refrigerating.

Notes

Storage: Pour butterscotch sauce into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for no more than 2 weeks. The sauce will thicken upon refrigeration. It can be reheated in the microwave at 10-second intervals, stirring in between, or on the stove top over low heat.
Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan is recommended.
Recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of butterscotch sauce.
