How to Make Caramel Cognac Fondue

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan.
  2. Stir over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
  3. 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).
  4. Carefully whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream (warm for easier incorporation). Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
  5. Continue to stir over medium-high heat until the sauce is smooth and has reduced to 1 1/4 cups (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of cognac and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  8. Transfer the sauce to a small fondue pot or a flameproof ceramic bowl.
  9. Place the pot over a candle warmer or a small rechaud to keep warm.
  10. Serve immediately with an assortment of fresh fruits such as strawberries, apples, pears, bananas, tangerine segments, and star fruit.
