Butter and scotch?

Just kidding.

Easy butterscotch contains butter and brown sugar, and vanilla.

Real butterscotch contains simple syrup (sugar and water), butter, cream,
and vanilla.

If you make homemade butterscotch can you use brown sugar or should
you brown the butter and use white sugar?
I've always wanted to duplicate that clear warm yellow ice cream
topping that comes in jars - Mrs. Richardson's ?

Then that would be more like the second combination, Lynn.

That's basically it, Rich, although you can take the longer, more
complicated approach (which I don't), and it has a slighty different taste.
Both are delicious.

Here is an easy recipe using brown sugar. Hope you enjoy it...

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup of tightly packed dark brown sugar
¾ cup heavy whipping cream (not ultra-pasteurized)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Butterscotch takes about a half an hour to make, from start to finish.

1 First, before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go - the
cream and the brown sugar next to the pan, measured and waiting. Making
butterscotch is a fast process that cannot wait for hunting around for
ingredients.

2 In a heavy bottomed stainless steel 2 quart saucepan, melt butter over
low to medium heat. Just before butter is melted, add all dark brown sugar
at once and stir with wooden spoon until sugar is uniformly wet.

3 Stir infrequently until mixture goes from looking grainy to molten lava.
Make sure to get into the corners of your pot, and watch closely to notice
how the mixture changes. It will take about 3 to 5 minutes.

4 Right before you add the cream, the caramelizing brown sugar will begin
to look and feel more like liquid and less like thick wet sand.

5 At this point add all the cream at once and replace your spoon with a
whisk. Lower heat a little and whisk cream into mixture. When liquid is
uniform, turn heat back to medium and whisk every few minutes for a total
of 10 minutes.

6 After liquid has been boiling on the stove for its 10 minutes, turn heat
off and let rest for a minute or two before transferring into a heatproof
storage vessel. (I prefer a stainless steel or glass bowl.) Cool to room
temperature.

7 When butterscotch liquid is room temperature, take a small taste. It's
important to know what cooked brown sugar and butter tastes like, and what
happens when transforming that flat sweetness into real butterscotch
flavor. Whisk in half the salt and vanilla extract. Taste again. Add more
salt and vanilla extract until the marvelous taste of real butterscotch is
achieved.

Butterscotch makes a fantastic topping for ice cream.

Chill butterscotch sauce in a non-reactive container with a tightly fitting
lid only after sauce has chilled completely. It will keep for one month
refrigerated, that is if you can keep from eating it all the moment it has
cooled down and been seasoned to your liking.
