How is caramel made?
Answers:
Caramel can be made from sugar by heating it slowly to around 170°C/340°F. (called caramelization). As the sugar melts and approaches this temperature, the molecules break down into other volatile compounds that give it the characteristic caramel color and flavors. There are also many other ways of making caramel.
Various candies, confections, and desserts are made with caramel: caramel apples, barley sugar, caramel with nuts .
brown sugar
Melted sugar.
Ingredients
150ml water
300g caster sugar
Instructions
Put the water into a heavy-based, deep saucepan, preferably stainless steel as this will allow you to see the colour changes in the caramel. Sprinkle in the sugar and, over a low heat, slowly dissolve the sugar, stirring occasionally. It is important to dissolve the sugar completely, as once the syrup starts to boil any sugar crystals can turn the caramel grainy. Use a wet pastry brush to brush any crystals from the sides of the pan.
Increase the heat and bring the syrup to a simmer.
Continue to simmer briskly and after around 15 minutes the syrup will start to colour.
Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure an even colour, but don't stir. Once it is a deep amber (4-5 minutes more), take off the heat and immediately place the base of the pan in a cold-water bath to stop the caramel cooking (it will hiss). It is now ready to use.
To set the caramel, pour it on to an oiled baking sheet to harden, then break into pieces or crush into crystals. Use these to top ice cream or other desserts. To make elegant caramel 'springs', lightly oil a thin metal cylinder (a knife steel is ideal) and use a fork to wrap a fine strand of caramel around the metal like a coil. Let it harden, then carefully remove. Use to top cakes or ice cream.
Pick up a can of sweetened condensed milk and throw it in a sauce pan, and you'll have some tasty, sweet and sticky caramel.
How about you use those brains that are in your head and try looking it up on the internet or using the library.

*****Never touch the sugar mixture when it is hot!!! It will burn you like nothing else. It has to be one of the most painful burns I have ever got. Worse than steam

One way people make caramel is to take a can of sweetened condensed milk and cook it until it becomes caramel.
The process is really quite simple.
