Made with brown sugar, creamy half-and-half, butter, vanilla extract, and a splash of Jim Beam Bourbon, this delightful glaze adds a touch of luxury to any sweet treat.

Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half (or heavy cream for a richer texture)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Jim Beam Bourbon (adjust to taste)
Pinch of salt

Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and half-and-half over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Let the mixture come to a gentle boil without stirring. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even heating. Cook until the mixture turns into a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the unsalted butter to the caramel mixture and stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and Jim Beam Bourbon. Adjust the bourbon amount based on your preference for flavor intensity.

Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness.

Let the caramel bourbon glaze cool slightly before using it. It will thicken as it cools, creating a rich and flavorful topping.

Drizzle the glaze over desserts like cakes, brownies, ice cream, or use it as a dipping sauce for fruits or pastries.

Store any leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving again.
