Report

Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- In a clear, microwave-safe bowl, combine water and sugar. Stir well under sugar is completely dissolved.
- Microwave on high for about 6 to 7 minutes or until color changes to honey-gold. Use immediately.
Notes
- Use a clear or light-colored microwave-safe bowl to gauge the color change accurately.
- Since the caramel continues to cook and darken in the residual heat, remove it from the heat source at a shade lighter than the desired color. Aim for a honey-gold tone, as the caramel is bitter as the color deepens.
- As microwaves vary in wattage, you may need to watch the caramel and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Use the caramel in your recipes immediately, as it thickens and hardens as it cools.
