Southern Pecan Caramel Sauce

Scott and I are about to become empty nesters. Emily has graduated from high school and is embarking on her university studies in just a few weeks (as in two weeks). Up to now, it has been a flurry of non-stop activity. First, there was searching for a prom dress, planning a pre-prom party, with my cousin acting as the official photographer, then Senior activities, including a trip for all graduating seniors to Busch Gardens in Tampa. Then commencement ceremonies and graduation parties.

starting the caramel sauce.

I thought I would be able to relax after all the planning, cooking, setup and prep for the graduation party, but before it was even over, we were getting ready for college orientation — for both the student and parents. Since Emily is starting college in the summer, we are barely back from orientation before we have to turn around and head back to drop her off. For real, this time. Whoa.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup pecans
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon bourbon divided
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes until browned and fragrant. Transfer pecans to a cutting board and chop.
In a medium saucepan, add sugar, corn syrup and 3 tablespoons bourbon. No need to stir. Have the whipping cream measured and next to the stove at the ready. Place saucepan over medium to medium high heat (depending on how hot your stove runs). Bring mixture to a rolling boil and watching the sugar mixture deepen in color. It will go from a light corn-syrup color, to light brown to amber. The change between light brown and amber is quick. Be ready for it. When it achieves a deep brown (not burnt) color, pour the cream into the center of the pan. It will steam and bubble vigorously -- that's ok. When it calms, remove it from the stove. Stir in the salt and chopped pecans. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining teaspoon of bourbon. Transfer to a glass storage container. You can store sauce in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
