Servings: 5

Cooking duration: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon bourbon

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon flaked sea salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup water

Equipment:

sauce pan

frying pan

whisk

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Set your ingredients out on the counter at least 45 minutes prior to starting the caramel. In a clean, heavy bottom saucepan slowly add the sugar to the middle of the pan. Pour in the water. DO NOT STIR. Allow the water to absorb the sugar before turning the heat on to medium-high. It's pretty hands free from here on out until the sugar has caramelized. First, bring the sugar/water mixture to a boil. STILL DO NOT STIR. Just watch closely as it will turn from clear, to a champagne color and then to several stages of amber. Once the sugar has caramelized and is a deep (but not dark) golden amber in color, remove off of the heat and turn the burner off. Whisk while pouring in the heavy cream being careful of the steam. Then carefully drop in the butter and whisk until combined. Whisk in the vanilla, bourbon and flaked sea salt and return the pot to the warm burner. Allow the caramel to heat (with the temperature off) for a minute while you whisk. Cool the caramel sauce in the pan for about 10 minutes before pouring the caramel sauce into a heat-safe container. Allow the caramel to cool on the counter for 1 hour or until at room temperature, where it will thicken up quite a bit. Alternatively, you can pour the caramel sauce into a bowl, set into a large bowl filled with ice to speed the cooling process along. Secure a tight fitting lid and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Food Joke

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
