Ingredients:
To caramelize sugar, get medium-small heavy skillet smoking hot. Remove from heat, sprinkling sugar in (enough of a layer to cover the bottom of the pan): > 1/2 c. sugar
When sugar's "melted", it will become a golden brown syrup. Turn heat back on if necessary, to achieve this. Slowly add cream, stirring to incorporate some of it before adding the rest: > Approx. 1/4 c. cream
Pour into a creamer or pitcher, dish up the ice cream, and enjoy!
