Black cow caramel sauce
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

2 cups root beer (do not use diet)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup whipping cream

Boil root beer in a heavy medium saucepan until it is reduced to
2/3 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Pour the sugar into the same pan. Drizzle water over so all over
sugar is moistened. Cook over high heat, swirling pan often, until
mixture turns a rich amber color, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat
and add butter. When it melts, stir it in and add the cream and
reduced root beer. Return to high heat and heat to a boil. Whisk
vigorously. Serve hot or cold.
