ingredients

  •  
    • 8 ounces Granulated Sugar
    • 2 ounces Water
    • 3 drops Lemon Juice

directions

1. In thick bottom sauce pan, combine all ingredients and begin to heat.
2. Note: Make sure of the following - that the sauce pan is centered correctly on the burner. That the flame fits the sauce pan. DO NOT STIR the mixture. You must brush down the sides while the sugar solution is cooking with clean water.
3. When the sugar beings to turn color you may swirl the solution gently to distribute the color of the sugar throughout the mixture. When the correct color is achieved, place the whole sauce pan into a bowl of cold water to prevent carry-over heat from continuing to cook the sugar. Poor immediately into cooking vessels and quickly swirl to evenly coat bottoms.
4. Use extreme caution when handling the hot sugar solution. No one reaches under the pan while someone is pouring.
5. NOTE: Use cup of water and pastry brush for sides of pan.
