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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the brown sugar to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth mixture, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring to prevent curdling. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Stir in the dark rum (or rum extract), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing well to combine the flavors evenly.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

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.
