Schrafft's Butterscotch Sauce

"You need more than this recipe to replicate the pleasure of sundae-eating at genteel Schrafft's.  It's recommended that ladies wear hats to the table and that gentlemen help these hat-wearing ladies into their chairs."  From More Than a Month of Sundaes.

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/8 tablespoon salt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

METHOD

In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt.  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over medium heat, and cook for one minute.  Turn off the heat and stir into the cream, then stir in the vanilla.  Allow to cool slightly (mixture will be very hot.) Serve warm.
