Instructions
Toffee Sauce
Measure your sauce ingredients (1 ½ cups butter, 3 cups light brown sugar, ⅔ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup light corn syrup, and ½ teaspoon salt - reserve the vanilla) into a large saucepan, heat over medium-high, and bring to a low boil. While heating you should stir only occasionally to help dissolve the brown sugar and to prevent any burning.
Once your toffee sauce reaches a boil, reduce heat to maintain a low rolling boil for 3-4 minutes, or until thickened.
When the sauce reaches a good thickened consistency that clings to your spoon, remove it from the heat. Stir in your 1 tablespoon vanilla extract(or bourbon) and allow the toffee sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
This is a big batch of toffee sauce that will work very well for serving over ice cream, sundaes, cake, cheesecake, and more as well as dipping fruit into.
Store any unused toffee sauce in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a month.
Your toffee sauce will be firm when refrigerated so bring it to room temperature a bit before portioning to reheat and use later.
Reheat larger portions in a sauce pan on the stove top, or small individual portions in the microwave at a lower 50% power setting in short 15-20 second intervals.
Add a splash of heavy cream to thin your toffee sauce if it is too thick when reheating.
