Butter Pecan Sauce

This sauce is absolutely divine! I found this recipe around 8 years ago while randomly flipping through my Mom's collection of recipes, but hadn't actually tried it until just last year. Since then, it has been a favorite for special occasions. It goes perfect on these pancakes! It can also be used as an ice cream topper.

-1/2 C Butter            -1 C Whipping Cream

-3/4 C Sugar             -1 C Chopped Pecans

             Variation: use walnuts in place of pecans, and maple extract in place of vanilla for a maple-walnut sauce that is also extremely yummy!
