1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup 35% cream, warmed
2 tsp Gingerbread Spice Mix
1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
STIR sugar, water and salt with a wooden spoon in a medium pot over medium-high to combine. Bring to a boil.
COVER and reduce to medium for 30 sec, allowing steam to vaporize any sugar on side of pan. Remove cover and cook until light amber in colour, about 10 min.
POUR in a third of the cream and stir gently. Add remaining cream and spice. Cook for 1 min, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 2 min.
