Butterscotch Sauce

Finishing the sauce with half-and-half adds richness. Be sure to let the sauce stand for five minutes before adding the half-and-half; otherwise, the mixture will return to a boil, and the half-and-half may break.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/3 cup 2-percent reduced-fat milk
1 /4 cup half-and-half
1 /4 cup dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar, milk and corn syrup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook five minutes, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat; let stand five minutes. Gradually stir in half-and-half and vanilla.

Recipe makes about 1-1/2 cups.
