Browning Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
• ¾ cup (6oz) boiling water
• ½ teaspoon (3g) salt ((optional))

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a small pot over low heat.

2. 2

   Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar melts.

3. 3

   When the sugar becomes frothy and turns from light brown to dark brown, carefully add boiling water a little at a time while stirring. Do not let the sugar turn too black, as you will end up with bitter-tasting browning sauce. Note: Be very careful when adding the hot water as the sugar may sputter and rise up.

4. 4

   Keep stirring for about 5 minutes until your sauce is ready.

5. 5

   Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

6. 6

   Use immediately or bottle and store in the fridge.
