This would also be terrific over ice cream.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1cup sugar
  • 2tablespoons water
  • 2tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/2cup whipping cream
  • 1/4cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2teaspoon vanilla extract

    DIRECTIONS

    Stir sugar, 2 tablespoons water and corn syrup in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in cream, butter and vanilla (mixture will bubble vigorously). Place pan over low heat and stir until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium-low heat before serving.)
