Homemade Caramel

Caramel prepared at home is known for its fresh and intense aroma. Achieving the golden color of caramel depends on a few tricks.

We will not prepare cakes or cheesecakes with it, but first of all, we need to prepare caramel, also known as caramel sauce. I think you are used to hearing these words caramel and caramelized a lot.

To caramelize; It is a process carried out to release the sugar in fruits and vegetables, giving them a slightly brown appearance. What about caramel? Caramel, prepared by caramelizing granulated sugar, turns into sauce with the addition of butter and cream. I can't get enough of the taste.

Few ingredients, little tips and a jar of caramel.

Use Teflon or thick-bottomed steel pots. Sugar burns easily in a thin-bottomed pot. When the metal comes into contact with sugar, it causes crystallization; Your caramel will be "stringy" and will not come together. Use a wooden spoon or heat-resistant silicone spatula instead.

For the caramel, put the sugar and water in a teflon or thick-bottomed pot.

Let it dissolve by mixing with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant silicone spatula.

Boil it over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts completely and takes on a caramel color.

When the caramel turns amber, add 100 grams of butter.

Continue stirring so that the butter melts completely.
