How to Make Old Fashioned Butterscotch Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a full rolling boil. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once boiling, continue to boil for exactly 1 minute without stirring.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. This allows the mixture to slightly cool and thicken.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup evaporated milk, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the slightly cooled butterscotch sauce until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the warm butterscotch sauce into sterilized jars, cover tightly, and refrigerate until completely cool.
- To reheat, place the sealed jar in a pan of warm water until heated through. Do not overheat.
