  2. Combine brown sugar, cream, and salted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often.
Cooking

  2. Once boiling, cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat, and stir in the toasted pecans.
Serving
  1. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature over your favorite desserts.

Notes

Avoid cooking the sauce too long to prevent it from becoming overly thick or sticky. Stir in cream gradually if the sauce thickens too much upon cooling.
