Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup dark brown sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the dark brown sugar and honey. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture forms a smooth, glossy syrup.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the dark rum. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off slightly and the flavors to meld.
Slowly add the heavy cream while stirring to create a silky texture. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for added depth of flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Drizzle over fried chicken, grilled pork, waffles, or even ice cream for a decadent touch!
