A delightful caramel sauce infused with the rich flavors of pecans and a hint of rum, perfect for drizzling over desserts.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the brown sugar and water to the melted butter, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir continuously to ensure the sugar doesn't stick to the bottom.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Keep an eye on the mixture to avoid overcooking, which can lead to a burnt taste.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rum and chopped pecans.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before adding the rum to prevent excessive evaporation.
Let the sauce cool to thicken slightly before serving.
If the sauce thickens too much, reheat gently and add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite desserts, such as ice cream or pancakes.
For a decorative touch, sprinkle additional chopped pecans over the dessert.
