Preparation
Step 1
Pour the cream into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
Step 2
Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat and cook without stirring until a deep amber brown color, about 6 minutes. Add the corn syrup and bourbon and cook, stirring carefully, for 1 minute.
