Instructions

  • Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil without any stirring, washing down any crystals that form on the side of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water.
  • Boil until sugar syrup turns the color of brewed tea.
  • Remove from heat and slowly add the remaining ¼ cup of water and whisk until smooth.
  • Slowly add rum and whisk to blend. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
