Talk about eye candy: Watching cream and sugar bubble and transform into flowing caramel will leave you giddy. Pour the amber-colored sauce over vanilla ice cream, dunk apple or pineapple slices in it, or drizzle it over chocolate or butter cake.
Put 3 cups cream in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In another pot, combine 1 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/4 cup glucose and slowly cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
Stop stirring but continue cooking until sauce turns a caramel color. Remove from heat and place pot in an ice bath (a big stainless-steel pan or bowl filled with ice cubes).
Remove from the ice bath and add 1/4 cup butter. Carefully stir in the hot cream, mixing until fully blended. Set aside and cool.
Serve over vanilla ice cream, dunk apple or pineapple slices in it, or drizzle it over chocolate or butter cake.
