A basic caramel sauce you can use with brownie sundae’s.
yield 1 1/3 cups
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- Combine sugar, 1/2 cup water, and corn syrup in heavy medium saucepan.
- Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until mixture turns a deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Carefully add cream (you may want to stand back — mixture will bubble vigorously).
- Stir sauce over low heat until any caramel bits dissolve and sauce is smooth.
- Let cool to room temperature then put in refrigerator. It will take the caramel sauce several hours in the refrigerator before it sets all the way.
