Caramel
Ingredients
Directions
Place the brown sugar in a frying pan over medium heat.
Stir the sugar until it turns dark brown and begins to smoke.
Add water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Strain the caramel through a cloth and let it cool.
Bottle the cooled caramel for later use.
