Question

How do u make caramel?

Answer 1

Melted sugar = carmel

In order to make milk carmel you need to use TWO sugars. One = failure and two - success. Any two sugars will make it work but here's what I recommend...

Boil 2 cups of milk

Add 1 cup granulated sugar and one half cup of corn syrup

1/4 stick of butter or margarine

Leave on high while continuing to stir carmel. As the sugars begin to melt and mix with the milk, a thickening process will begin. Never stop stirring!

That's it.... you have carmel! Use it to coat chicken, make candy, crust bread and a million other creative ideas. Carmel makes a great sauce if you make it a little less sweet and a bit more spicy.

Answer 2

sugar

brown sugar

light corn syrup

play with it till u getit right

Answer 3

i know how to make it but you're probably not going to listen to a 14 year old. but hey i got it in a cookbook. so here:

1/4 cup water

1 cup sugar

2 tbsp. light corn syrup

1. wash and dry hands throughly. in a medium sauce pan,combine the water, sugar, and corn syrup/ stir them together with very clean fingers, making sure no lumps of dry sugar remain. Brush down the inside of the pan with a little water, using your fingers to feel for stray granules of sugar.

2.cover the saucepan and place it over ,medium heat for 4 minutes. after 4 minutes, remove the lid, increase the heat, and bring to a boil. don not stir from this point on. keep an eye on the pan. it will be very bubbly. when stray sugar crystals appear on the sides of the pan, brush them down with a wet pastry brush.

3.as the sugar cooks, the bubble will get larger and the sugar will turn golden brown. insert a candy thermometer. when the temperature reaches 300F, lower the heat to medium, which will slow the cooking. continue to cook the sugar until it reaches 325F, about 3 minutes more. Remove the pan form the heat and let sit for about 2 minutes,until the bubbles subside.

hope i helped

Answer 4

                                          ~Caramel~

                   ~>  Ingredients <~

* 12 tablespoons of white caster sugar

* 2 tablespoons of hot water

______________________________________...

                       ~>How to make<~

   1. Get a heavy-gauge aluminum saucepan that is pale in colour. That way, you can easily see the contrast between the colour of the metal and the darkening colour of the caramel.

   2. Warm the pan gently over a medium heat for a few moments then place 12 tablespoons white caster sugar in the pan, still over a medium heat. keep an eye on the sugar, until it begins to melt.

   3. Wait about 5 minutes, then the sugar will start to melt and turn liquid around the edges. Now give the pan a good shake and leave it again until about a quarter of the sugar has melted.

   4. Give it a gentle stir with the wooden spoon and continue to cook and stir until the sugar has transformed from crystals to liquid and is the colour of dark runny honey – a dark amber colour. The whole thing should take about 10 minutes from start to finish follow and it is important to be patient and not try to rush it – this is where most people go wrong with making caramel. You must allow the full amount of time at a medium heat.

   5. Then take the pan off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of tap-hot water – the caramel will splutter and steam so protect your hands with a cloth and take care. Stir well – you may need to return the pan to a gentle heat to re-melt any lumps of caramel that have formed. The caramel is now ready to use.

* Remember not to put on a plate when hot, and let it cool, because if you do so, it will be very difficult to get off, so enjoy!

* Taste is amazing with fruit.

Answer 6

The only way I've ever seen it made is using condensed milk. Here's the directions:

Caramel Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

Remove label from can. Place unopened can in the bottom of a very deep pot, such as a deep dutch oven. Cover with water so that the water is 3 to 4-inches above the can. Bring the water to a boil and boil steadily for four (4) hours.

Note: You must make sure that the can is always totally covered with water. Never let the water level get down to the top of the can, because this could cause the can to explode.
