Ingredients

  • 1 sugar
  • 6 (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 heavy cream
  • 3 whiskey or bourbon
  • 1/2 kosher salt

Instructions

  • Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in a heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan. Continue cooking syrup until deep golden amber, 7–8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low; add butter and stir until dissolved (mixture will bubble vigorously). Stir in cream, followed by whiskey and salt. Stir until no lumps remain. Remove caramel from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Pour into a glass jar or small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cool completely. Cover and chill. Rewarm slightly before using.
