    Makes about 3 cups

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons dark rum

Increase heat; boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber color, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with wet pastry brush, about 10 minutes (time will vary depending on size of pan). Remove from heat. Pour in cream (mixture will bubble vigorously); stir to blend. Mix in butter, then rum, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cool sauce completely. Divide among ten 4-ounce jars.
