Peanut Butter Sauce

I use this on my oatmeal bake or ice cream.  It is so delicous!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

Directions:

In a dry heavy saucepan over medium heat, cook the sugar without stirring until it begins to melt.
Continue cooking, stirring with a fork, until entirely melted. Cook until a deep golden caramel, swirling the pan occasionally.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream. The caramel will hiss, bubble and steam, and will form hard lumps. It’s ok. Return the pan to the burner, turn it down to low, and simmer, stirring, until all of the caramel has dissolved, anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter until entirely incorporated, then remove from heat.

Store the sauce in the fridge in an airtight container. It will harden, so you will need to reheat it to re-saucify it. You can do this on the stove or in the microwave, using 30 second bursts.
