Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes
Makes 2 cups (500 mL)

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar 250 mL
3 tbsp water 45 mL
A couple of drops lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream 250 mL
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter 75 mL
1 tsp vanilla 5 mL

Directions:

1. Place sugar, water and lemon juice in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Stir just until sugar melts. Then, swirling saucepan occasionally and without stirring, boil until sauce turns a deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add whipping cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously.

2. Return saucepan to low and stir to dissolve any caramel. Whisk in peanut butter until sauce is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Let cool slightly then pour into an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 1 week. For a thicker sauce serve right from the fridge or warm for a runnier sauce.
