Units
Scale
- 4 cups (946 ml) apple cider
- 1 vanilla bean, split & scraped
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) brown sugar
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) butter, cubed
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring apple cider to a boil.
- Add vanilla bean seeds scraped from the pod and drop in the pod itself.
- Continue to boil until reduced by about half, about 12-15 minutes.
- Add brown sugar and butter and stir until melted and well incorporated.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Allow the mixture to continue to boil until the bubbling starts to slow down as the liquid becomes more thick and syrupy, about 7-10 more minutes.
- Carefully pour the hot sauce into a heatproof container or jar and allow to cool before sealing and decorating.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- To prevent scorching, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Store the cooled sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
