GINGER BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

This recipe came to The Times from the pastry chef Pichet Ong, who developed it when he worked at Spice Market and 66 in New York. He served it over a kabocha squash pie with a lime graham cracker crust, but it would go equally well over cheesecake, key lime pie or chess pie. It takes about a half-hour of your time, and will add a buttery note to any dessert.

Time 25m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound dark brown sugar
2 1/2 ounces (about 4 inches) fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced into coins
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, pulp scraped
10 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter, cubed
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place sugar, ginger and vanilla pod and pulp in a heavy pot set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is molten and fragrant with ginger and vanilla, about 8 minutes. (It won't melt entirely but will be somewhat crumbly.) Add butter (stand back, it will foam up), and stir until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour cream and salt into pot, stirring, and bring to a simmer. Let sauce bubble until thickened, about 8 minutes. Let cool for at least 1/2 hour, then strain out ginger and vanilla pod. Warm sauce before serving. This sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in refrigerator.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup heavy cream, gently heated

Steps:

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, cook together sugar, butter, salt, and corn syrup, stirring occasionally, until mixture is a light caramel color. Remove from heat and swirl in the ginger.
  • Cool for a few minutes, then stir in the cream a little at a time. (Be careful: the cream may spatter.) Let cool. Strain out ginger before serving.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the sauce.
  • Use light brown sugar: This will give the sauce a richer flavor than granulated sugar.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Watch the sauce closely and remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve the sauce warm: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Use the sauce on your favorite desserts: Ginger butterscotch sauce is a great topping for ice cream, cakes, pies, and cookies.

Ginger butterscotch sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of desserts.
