Instructions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar with the cream, butter, whisky, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and cook, stirring, until thick, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool, stirring often. Serve at room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
