Butterscotch Sauce
Light and dark brown sugar create a buttery, luscious sauce with caramel notes. Use it to fill Mindy Segal's Banilla Nillas, with plenty left over for gifting.

-
In a heavy pot (6-quart or larger) over medium heat, combine the sugars and butter and cook just until the sugar is melted. Raise the heat to medium-high, and add the vanilla bean.
-
Add the cream in four additions, bringing the sauce to a simmer and allowing it to partially reduce before adding more (about 4 to 6 minutes). Stir the mixture as necessary to keep it from boiling over.
-
Once all the cream is added and the sauce thickens slightly (it should just begin to fall in a sheet from the spoon), remove from the heat and add the salts and vanilla. Cool completely before using.
-
Butterscotch sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
