  • 1 cup of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Place your Dutch Oven on medium heat and combine maple syrup, brown sugar, cream, condensed milk, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a rolling bubble.
  2. When mixture is bubbling, add in vanilla and bourbon. Pouring both ingredients in slowly as the mixture will bubble more fiercely.
