Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup, unsalted butter, and brown sugar over medium heat.
Stir frequently until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the heavy cream.
Continue to simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or desserts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
