Directions

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Water

Step 1

Heat water to nearly boiling.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Sugar

Step 2

Heat the sugar over a medium flame stirring constantly with a large wooden spoon while the sugar melts. Gradually increase the stirring speed until the sugar changes to a light brown liquid. At this point, the sugar may begin to give off steam but there may still be lumps of unmelted sugar. Turn the flame off so that the sugar will not become overcooked and discolored. Continue stirring until all the sugar is melted.
 

Step 3

When all the sugar is melted and the caramel is a golden brown color; GRADUALLY add 6 cups of hot (near boiling) water. You must add the water very very slowly and continue to stir the melted sugar while the water is being added.
 

Step 4

When all the water has been added, turn the flame back on and let the syrup boil for about 15 minutes.
 

Step 5

After 15 minutes, pour the liquid into a Mason jar and check the volume. Target volume: 6 3/4 cups of caramel syrup
