Ingredients

  • ¼ cup maple syrup (real maple syrup)
  • ¼ cup butter (if you use unsalted butter then add a pinch or two of salt)
  • 2-4 tablespoons brown sugar (I used 2 tablespoons, I found the 4 tablespoons too sweet)
  • ¼ cup cream heavy, whole or whipping cream (at least 30% fat content)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a heavy saucepan add the maple syrup and brown sugar, heat on low/medium heat until boiling, place candy thermometer in the pot and continue on a low boil until temperature reaches 235F (112C), stirring every couple of minutes with a wooden spoon.
  2. Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir until melted, then add the cream and combine.   Pour into a glass jar, the sauce will thicken as it cools. Once cooled to room temperature, cover tightly and store in the refrigerator.  Stir well before serving.  Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store: The cooled maple caramel sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Stir well before serving or if you find it has gotten grainy, microwave it in 15 second increments to reheat it.
  • Freeze: The sauce can also be frozen in an airtight container that is not glass for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator, stir well before using.
