How to Make Caramel Cognac Fondue
- Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan.
- Stir over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Boil the mixture without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally and brushing down the sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystallization. Continue boiling until the mixture turns a deep amber color (about 3-5 minutes).
- Carefully whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream (warm for easier incorporation). Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
- Continue to stir over medium-high heat until the sauce is smooth and has reduced to 1 1/4 cups (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of cognac and cook for 1 minute more.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Transfer the sauce to a small fondue pot or a flameproof ceramic bowl.
- Place the pot over a candle warmer or a small rechaud to keep warm.
- Serve immediately with an assortment of fresh fruits such as strawberries, apples, pears, bananas, tangerine segments, and star fruit.
