Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoon water, divided
3 tablespoons bourbon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses (not robust or blackstrap)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until caramel is dark amber. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/4 cup water, then stir in bourbon, butter, molasses, and salt. Return to heat and simmer, stirring, to dissolve any hardened caramel if necessary.
