Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes
Makes 500 ml

Ingredients

200g 7oz granulated sugar
3 tbsp 45ml water
A couple of drops lemon juice
250ml whipping cream 
75g 2 ¾ oz smooth peanut butter 1 tsp 5ml vanilla

Method

1. Place sugar, water and lemon juice in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Stir just until sugar melts. Then, swirling saucepan occasionally and without stirring, boil until sauce turns a deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add whipping cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously.
2. Return saucepan to low and stir to dissolve any caramel. Whisk in peanut butter until sauce is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Let cool slightly then pour into an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 1 week. For a thicker sauce serve right from the fridge or warm for a runnier sauce.
