A rich, buttery caramel with a splash of Sailors Rum - Spiced stirred in at the end. Goes on ice cream, apple pie, bread pudding, pancakes, or a spoon held over the sink at midnight.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula.

  2. 2

    Sugar will clump, then melt into an amber liquid. Keep stirring.

  3. 3

    Once fully melted and deep amber (about 350°F), add butter all at once. It will bubble vigorously — keep stirring.

  4. 4

    After butter is incorporated, remove from heat and slowly pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly.

  5. 5

    Stir in Sailors Rum - Spiced and sea salt.

  6. 6

    Let cool for 10 minutes before using. Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Bartender's Tip

Room temperature butter and cream are essential — cold dairy causes the caramel to seize. Pull them from the fridge an hour before you start.
