Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum (or rum extract for a non-alcoholic option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth mixture, about 2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring to prevent curdling. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the dark rum (or rum extract), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing well to combine the flavors evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week; reheat gently before serving.
