Bourbon Caramel

1 C heavy cream
300 g sugar
1/2 C water
6 T butter, softened
2 T bourbon
1 t vanilla

Heat heavy cream in the microwave 1 min so it's not cold.

Place sugar in small pot, add water, cover, and heat over medium-high.

Drip water down edges if necessary to remove sugar crystals.

Once caramel turns amber, remove from heat.

Add cream; caramel will bubble.

Once caramel calms down, add butter, bourbon, and vanilla.
