Caramel Pecan Sauce Recipes

PECAN CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a low boil, swirling the saucepan gently, but not stirring. Keep the mixture constantly moving.
• Simmer until the mixture is syrupy and a deep caramel color, about 5-10 minutes.
• Remove mixture from heat and whisk in butter and cream, being mindful that the mixture will spit and sizzle, so be careful. Whisky vigorously until it reaches a smooth, sticky consistency.
• Whisk in vanilla and fleur de sel.
• Stir in whole pecans.
• Depending on the recipe, allow your caramel sauce to cool or serve hot.
