Unlawfully Rich Butterscotch Sauce image

A decadent sauce as a topping for ice cream, banana splits, or sundaes, or my favorite way-served with a variety of apples thinly sliced. Recipe from my reliable Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Feel free to add your favorite pure extract: hazelnut, almond, vanilla, maple, etc.

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup light brown sugar (okay to use dark brown sugar)
1/4 lb butter (NOT margarine)
1/2 cup heavy cream (NOT milk)
1/4 teaspoon pure hazelnut extract (or your favorite flavor-optional, my addition)

Steps:

  • In a small, heavy saucepan combine all the ingredients except for the pure extract, if using.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes or until the brown sugar dissolves. Be careful that the sauce DOES NOT burn. If necessary, reduce heat to avoid burning.
  • Remove pan from heat, add the optional pure extract if using, and whisk well. Serve warm.
