Caramel syrup

Caramel syrup is a sweet and flavourful ingredient commonly used in cooking and baking. It is typically made from heating sugar until it caramelises, resulting in a rich and thick syrup with a deep, sweet taste. This ingredient is often derived from sugar, but there are variations that may include other ingredients like butter or cream for added richness.

To make caramel syrup, sugar is heated in a pan until it melts and turns a golden-brown colour, creating a distinctive flavour profile. Sometimes butter or cream is added to enhance the richness and creaminess of the syrup. The mixture is then cooked until it reaches a desired consistency, at which point it can be used in a variety of recipes to add sweetness and depth of flavour.

Caramel syrup is commonly added to a range of foods and drinks to provide sweetness, flavour, and depth. It is often used in desserts like cakes, cookies, and ice cream, as well as in beverages such as coffee, cocktails, and milkshakes. The syrup can also be drizzled over pancakes, waffles, or fruit for an added touch of sweetness and caramel flavour. Be sure to check food labels if you are trying to avoid added sugars, as caramel syrup is a common sweetener in many processed foods.
