Ginger Butterscotch Sauce image

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.

I'm not usually a fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this sauce. The butterscotch flavor is really mellow and smooth.

I made this sauce for a special occasion and it was a huge disappointment. It was too sweet and didn't have much flavor.

This sauce is a bit too thick for my taste. I would thin it out with some milk or cream.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sauce turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
