Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture begins to bubble gently, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Let the glaze cool for a few minutes before using. It will thicken more as it cools.
Drizzle the glaze over your desired dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before use if it solidifies.
