This a very tasty sauce, and extremely easy to make. The only change I made,was instead of cognac, I used bourbon. It only makes about a cup of sauce, which needs to be considered depending on the amount of desert you are serving it with. I served it with a caramel bread pudding and ran a little short. I will definitely do it again.
