I learned to make caramel sauce from Jaquie at Black Market Grill in Garret Park, MD. She is amazing and I loved every minute of my time with her. My love is Irish so I added some whiskey (or bourbon) to make him smile. —LizTerry

Ingredients
-
1 cup
sugar
-
water to just cover the sugar and the bottom of the pan
-
1 cup
whipping cream
-
3 tablespoons
whiskey or bourbon
Directions
-
pour sugar into a saucepan
-
add water to just cover the sugar in the pan
-
bowl on high and stir constantly
-
the sugar will start to "burn" so pay attention. You want to pull the sugar/water mixture off the heat when it gets to a dark caramel color. Usually takes about 5 minutes once at a hard boil.
-
Slowly pour cream into sugar/water while whisking with your other hand. Keep mixing until smooth. Add whiskey and stir.
-
Caramel will be very hot!! Allow to cool and then pour over ice cream or dip pretzels or drizzle over your favorite cheesecake.
