Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup toasted chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In a dry heavy saucepan cook sugar over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, swirling pan, until deep golden. Remove pan from heat and carefully add cream, bourbon, lemon juice, and pecans (caramel will steam and harden). Return pan to heat and simmer sauce, stirring, until caramel is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour sauce into a bowl and cool slightly. (Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 2 weeks.)
