Notes
Be sure to use fresh, soft brown sugar. If you use hard brown sugar, it will throw off the ratio.
The syrup will be thin after it is done boiling. But, it will thicken up as it cools down.
You can refrigerate any leftovers, in a Mason jar with a lid.
You can reheat dessert sauce in the microwave if you want to serve it warm.
You can enjoy it warm or eat it cold; it's your choice.
If you don't have Kosher salt, you can substitute regular table salt.
If your syrup is too thick, you may have cooked it for too long. Double-check the recipe to see what might have gone wrong.
