Caramel

Caramel is an aromatic ingredient made by melting sugar with no water or a small amount of water and cooking it until it turns golden brown. Depending on the heat and cooking time, it ranges from light and fluid to dark and slightly bitter. It forms the basis of sauces, fillings, coatings, and sugar decorations.

Where It’s Used

“Melt the sugar without stirring and remove it from the heat once it turns caramel-colored.”
