Bourbon Caramel Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Wiseman Bourbon
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 170g butter, chopped
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Begin by combining the bourbon and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir the mixture well and set it aside.
- Take a medium-sized saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. Pour in the granulated sugar and pay close attention as you cook. Stir occasionally until the sugar transforms into a rich golden-brown liquid, completely melted.
- Add the butter and the vanilla bourbon mixture into the saucepan. Vigorously whisk the ingredients together until the butter is entirely melted. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up.
- Remove the pan from the stovetop and gradually pour in the heavy cream while continuing to whisk. The caramel sauce will react, but keep whisking until the sauce is fully blended. Add the salt.
- Allow the mixture to cool. Don’t be tempted to lick the sauce directly from the spoon or whisk as it will be extremely hot.
- Once the caramel has reached room temperature, transfer it to a container or jar. The sauce must be stored in the fridge and should be consumed within 14 days.
