Bitterscotch Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and 3/4 cup of the cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium heat. Turn the heat to medium-low. Place a candy thermometer in the pan. Boil the sugar, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 234 degrees F., (the soft ball stage).
• Remove pan from the heat, and carefully add the remaining cream and vanilla. Cool slightly. Serve the sauce warm.
• To store the butterscotch sauce, pour it into a heatproof jar. Cover with the lid and refrigerate for up to 2 week. To serve, loosen the cover on the jar and set jar in small pot of simmering water until heated through. Serve.

Steps:

• In a shaker, combine the scotch, blanc vermouth, amaro and lemon juice. Add ice, cover and shake vigorously until the drink is well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Holding a lemon peel by its long edges, skin facing down into the glass, pinch the peel to release the citrus oils. Add it to the glass and serve.

Steps:

• Generously butter a 10x15 inch baking pan (with sides).
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, water, vinegar and salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove lid and heat, without stirring, to 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard but pliable threads. Pour in vanilla, but do not stir. Remove from heat and pour into prepared pan. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and allowing candy to cool completely.
