Cooking Instructions

Hide images

step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

step 2

Place Pecans (1/3 cup) on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes until browned and fragrant. Transfer pecans to a cutting board and chop.

step 3

In a medium saucepan, add Granulated Sugar (1 cup), Light Corn Syrup (1 Tbsp) and Bourbon (3 Tbsp). No need to stir.

step 4

Place saucepan over medium to medium high heat (depending on how hot your stove runs).

step 5

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.

step 6

Then, from light brown to amber. The change between light brown and amber is quick. Be ready for it.

step 7

When it achieves a deep brown (not burnt) color, pour the Heavy Cream (3/4 cup) into the center of the pan. It will steam and bubble vigorously -- that's ok.
