Butterscotch Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon large-flake salt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan (not non-stick) over medium heat.
2. Add the brown sugar, salt and heavy cream and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until it's well blended. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping down the sides occasionally, and boil it for 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the butterscotch sauce to a container to cool.
