Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch fine salt
Instructions
Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat.
Whisk in the brown sugar, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until glossy and slightly thickened.
Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the rum and vanilla.
Cool for 5 minutes before serving; the sauce thickens as it stands.
