1 cup heavy cream |
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |

1. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and oil parchment.
2. Bring brown sugar, cream, butter, salt, and 1/4 cup rum to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until butter is melted, then boil over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 248°F (firm-ball stage), about 15 minutes.
