Ingredients

Directions
In a saucepan combine 2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, 3 tablespoons butter, and a inch of salt and bring the mixture to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring and washing down any sugar crystals clinging to the sides with a brush dipped in cold water until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer the syrup, undisturbed, swirling the pan, for 3 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in ½ cup chopped toasted pecans, 1/3 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Serve the sauce warm over coffee or vanilla ice cream. Makes about 1 cup.”
