A delicious sauce that is good over ice cream and bread pudding. Ingredients:
1 cup pecans, chopped |
2 cups light brown sugar, packed |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 cup heavy cream |
1/2 cup butter |
1/4 cup bourbon |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat over to 325 degrees.
2. Spread pecans on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned. This takes approximately 5-8 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don't burn. Set aside toasted pecans.
3. In a large heavy sauce pan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking. Stir constantly so it doesn't burn. Cook until mixture is reduced to 3 cups. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in bourbon, vanilla and pecans. Let cool.
5. NOTES: If made in advance, cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. To reheat in microwave use 30% power for a minute or two. For the power notation-adjust to your microwave. The goal is to bring this to a room temperature or slightly warm temperature.
