Bourbon Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup water
• 2 teaspoons light-colored corn syrup
• 1/4 cup evaporated low-fat milk
• 1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons bourbon

Preparation

1. Sprinkle sugar in an even layer in a large, heavy saucepan. Combine 2/3 cup water and syrup; pour over sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves (about 4 minutes), stirring gently. Cook an additional 20 minutes or until golden (do not stir). Remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk, half-and-half, and butter using a long-handled wooden spoon (mixture will bubble vigorously). Cook over low heat until mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in bourbon. Serve warm. (Mixture thickens as it cools.)
