Recipe: Caramel sauce

1 The first tip is to make sure that you use a pot with a thick bottom to make your caramel. So, in that pot mix your sugar with six table spoons of water, with a wooden spoon making sure not to splash any sugar onto the sides of your pot.

2 Add the lemon juice and place your pot on the heat.

3 When, the sugar has started to boil do not stir it at all. When, the sugar starts to take a slight brown colour, start giving a rotating motion to your pot to even the colour of your caramel.

4 When the sugar has reach the golden, brown colour of a caramel, carefully add a couple of table spoons of water and stir your caramel with your wooden spoon. Repeat this last step a second time and quickly transfer your caramel sauce into a different container (avoid plastic).

5 At this point, your caramel must be quite thin. Let it cool down and preserve it into a glass jar tightly closed in the fridge until needed.
