Ingredients
- Bourbon
- Brown sugar
- Butter
- Heavy cream
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: bourbon, brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Ensure you have measuring cups and spoons ready for accurate measurements.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to bubble, but do not let it brown.
- Once the butter is melted, add 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the saucepan. Stir the mixture continuously until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully pour in 1/2 cup of bourbon. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up when the bourbon is added. Stir the mixture well to combine the ingredients.
- Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly. The sauce should thicken and become syrupy in consistency.
- After the sauce has thickened, lower the heat to medium-low and slowly stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. This will give the sauce a rich and creamy texture.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper, then adjust according to your preference.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help meld the flavors together and further thicken the sauce.
- Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Beaumont Inn Bourbon Sauce warm over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a decadent topping for desserts like ice cream or bread pudding.
Tips
- Quality Ingredients Matter: Use a good quality bourbon for the best flavor. The better the bourbon, the richer the sauce will taste!
- Control the Heat: Keep your heat at medium to avoid burning the butter or sugar. If you notice any browning, reduce the heat immediately.
- Stir Constantly: When adding the brown sugar, stir continuously to ensure it dissolves completely, preventing any grainy texture in your sauce.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer a little longer after adding the heavy cream. Just be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for a unique twist to the classic recipe!
- Perfect Pairings: This sauce pairs beautifully with grilled steak, roasted chicken, or even as a decadent drizzle over desserts like bread pudding or vanilla ice cream.
- Make Ahead: This sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving. Just add a splash of cream if it thickens too much in the fridge.
