RUM & RAISIN CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the sugar into a heavy-based saucepan and set over a medium heat to allow the sugar to gradually melt. As it melts you can gently swirl the pan a couple of times to ensure the caramel cooks evenly, but do not stir it
• Once the sugar has melted, the caramel will begin to darken. Continue to let it cook until it reaches a lovely deep amber colour (but keep a close eye on the caramel as it can burn easily)
• Add the butter and pour in the cream, taking care as it can bubble up and is extremely hot. Mix with a small handheld whisk until everything is fully incorporated
• Put the pan back on the heat and cook, stirring constantly, for a further 2 minutes, until all lumps have dissolved
• Take off the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract
• Mince the raisins finely and stir into the caramel along with the rum (vary the amount of rum depending on your personal preferences - 4 tsp will give a moderate alcoholic taste. Try 3 tsp for a milder flavour or 5-6 tsp for a stronger kick
• Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then carefully pour the caramel into a jar
• Let cool completely, then seal and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks
• Bring the jar out of the fridge several hours prior to serving to allow it to soften (do not be tempted to use the microwave on it). Give it a good stir and serve
