How to Make Visko's Praline Sauce

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Add 1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup and 1/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 5-10 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup dark rum (or substitute with additional maple extract), 1 teaspoon pure maple extract, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  7. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  8. Serve warm over high-quality vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
  9. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
