When serving the spiced-pumpkin soufflés, don’t forget this warm accompaniment. It’s simply magical.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoon water, divided
3 tablespoons bourbon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses (not robust or blackstrap)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Bring sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until caramel is dark amber. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/4 cup water, then stir in bourbon, butter, molasses, and salt. Return to heat and simmer, stirring, to dissolve any hardened caramel if necessary.
2. Cooks’ note: Sauce can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat in a microwave or double boiler until liquefied.
