1-cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
� cup heavy cream
1� cups butterscotch sauce (see note)
� cup butterscotch flavored schnapps
4� cups heavy cream

place 5 tablespoons butter first followed by 1 cup brown sugar and 2
tablespoons light corn syrup. Bring to a boil. Add 1/2-cup heavy
cream, return to a boil, stir. Cool and reserve for cr�me brulee
