• Yield: 1 1/4 cups

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Place the butter, cream and brown sugar in a heavy saucepan over low heat. As soon as the butter is melted, increase the heat to medium so the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
