Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2  cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Make the Sauce

  • In a sauce pan, add sugar and honey. Heat on medium until sugars are melted. Lower heat to a simmer.
    1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup honey
  • In a small saucepan, add cream and heat on medium. Do NOT bring it to a boil. Add butter, vanilla, salt, and bourbon. Once the butter has melted, take off the heat and add the cream mixture to the sugar mixture.
    1/2  cup heavy cream, 3 tablespoons butter, 1  teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • Turn the heat up enough that the sugar mixture bubbles.
  • Let the mixture turn to a nice golden color and thicken somewhat. Mine took around 10 minutes.
  • Pour into glass jar and let bourbon caramel sauce cool on the counter for 2 hours.
  • Pour some bourbon caramel sauce on ice cream, eat, smile, and enjoy.

Notes

I didn't count the two hours it sat on the counter to thicken.
