Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Bourbon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Pecans, roughly chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.

Step 2

Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring it combines smoothly with the butter and sugar mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully add the bourbon and stir. Allow the sauce to cook for another 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly, while the alcohol burns off.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped pecans to the sauce. Stir well to coat the pecans evenly and distribute the flavor.

Step 6

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm over desserts like ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or baked goods. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
