Port Wine Caramel Sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Port Wine
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat stir the granulated sugar until it begins to melt. Use a heat-safe spatula so you can scrape the sides of the pan and keep the sugar moving. This takes a little bit of time so be patient. Keep stirring until sugar is melted and amber in color. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until it is smooth. Return to the heat and add the port wine. The caramel will harden and lump up slightly. Don't worry, it will melt again. Cook stirring until the lumps are dissolved and all of the sugar is melted. Add the cream and stir over heat until the sauce is slightly thickened, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir well and transfer sauce to a serving vessel. Serve warm over ice cream or cake. Or ice cream and cake. Enjoy!
