Explore Spiced RumA rich, buttery caramel with a splash of Sailors Rum - Spiced stirred in at the end. Goes on ice cream, apple pie, bread pudding, pancakes, or a spoon held over the sink at midnight.
Heat sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula.
Sugar will clump, then melt into an amber liquid. Keep stirring.
Once fully melted and deep amber (about 350°F), add butter all at once. It will bubble vigorously — keep stirring.
After butter is incorporated, remove from heat and slowly pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly.
Stir in Sailors Rum - Spiced and sea salt.
Let cool for 10 minutes before using. Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Bartender's Tip
Room temperature butter and cream are essential — cold dairy causes the caramel to seize. Pull them from the fridge an hour before you start.
