Easy method for making cane sugar free butterscotch sauce, sweetened with fruit only!
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
When the butter is melted, stir in the date syrup and whisk for a minute or so until well blended.
Whisk in half of the cream (1/4 cup).
Bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Turn off heat and remove the pot from the stove. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream. Follow with the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Let cool on the counter. The butterscotch will start to thicken up as it comes to room temperature. Enjoy some warm if you like!
Once cooled, pour into a pint-sized mason jar and secure the lid. Refrigerate.
Chilled butterscotch is thick but still easily spoonable. It will last refrigerated for several weeks.
