Choose the right pot. If you must use a dark pot, you can pool the caramelizing sugar on a stainless steel or other shiny spoon to help you see its color. Also, a deep skillet or wide saucepan works better than a tall, narrow pot, which limits the surface area and inhibits evaporation, thus slowing down the process.

Or, conversely, what would cause caramel to become fudgy like penuche?
Thanks in advance for any tips. Just a few sugar crystals that come into contact with the caramel can be enough to initiate the crystallization. You can prevent this from happening by adding some glucose syrup which contains some very long molecules that inhibit this crystallization. Thank you! I think I had too much moisture.
I let it sit in a cake pan in the refrigerator while deciding what to do with it. Miraculously, after a couple of days, it turned from caramel into penuche. I am guessing the refrigerator pulled moisture out.
Now I can make pecan rolls. Thanks, again! A trick I have to remember The fridge does tend to dry food out, which in your case is exactly what you needed. Also, over time sugar tends to recrystallize again if it can, so those two factors together seem to have come together perfectly for you! Enjoy the rolls. Do you happen to have the 2 recipe converted to an easy for me cups of ingredients recipe?
I am trying to make turtles, but the caramel always turns gritty and my chocolate blooms. How do I stop this? Great question. Grity caramel is almost always caused by sugar that recrystallizes. The best way to prevent this is to add some corn glucose syrup to the caramel. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
Chocolate blooming can only be prevented by really good temperature control of the chocolate, that can be tricky for sure, a few pointers: — Temper the chocolate: chocolate will bloom if you do not temper it, so make sure you temper the chocolate before using it. Temperature control here is very important. Thanks for that Info. The chocolate is either tempered in a chocolate tempering machine or To 88 degrees.
The caramel is cooled overnight. Despite my best efforts, the chocolate still blooms. Any help is appreciated.
Hope this helps! Does golden syrup also work as a crystallisation inhibitor? I prefer the dry method, but sometimes find the caramel browns too much before all the sugar is dissolved even when heat is reduced. What temp should I be aiming for dissolving and what temp should I be aiming for for caramelisation? Invert sugar does not crystallize easily so can indeed limit crystallization.
That said, invert sugar is sweeter than sucrose so will impact your recipe. Glucose and fructose will caramelize at a slightly different temperature than sucrose, so keep that in mind as well.
To compare, corn syrup is a mixture of small sugar molecules and larger molecules. These larger molecules prevent the crystallization of sugar. As such, the mechanism is somewhat different. This is a very common challenge. Lastly, thicker bottomed pans can help as well. A very thin pan has hot spots more easily than a thicker one which can spread the heat around more, so might be worth looking into that as well.
In my experience measuring the temperature at the end is tricky in a caramel. Once you see caramelization occurring before all of it has dissolved, turn down the heat, turn the pan and if nothing helps, you might just want to add a little water be very careful, the sugar will be super hot, so it will probably splash and splatter.
The water will help dissolve the sugar and will cool it down a little to give the colder sugar time to catch up. Hello, I have a caramel recipe that is so delicious, but the caramels are oily. Any idea how to prevent that from happening? I did substitute toasted sugar for regular sugar. Oil leaking out is a common problem for caramels. Hope the following tips can help:. How can I keep my caramel from spreading I would like them to be square shape soft and chewy. Is there a stabilizer I should use?
Also, you can tweak the type of fat your using one that is solid at room temperature will give a harder caramel after cooling down, e. Lastly, some ingredients especially milk will help thicken a caramel. The milk proteins can form a structure that helps hold the caramel together. You do not need to use stabilizers to make a firm caramel, you can do it by balancing your ingredients and process.
At temp I add 12 lbs ice to cool and thin quickly. Another option is to buy pre-made baking caramels. These are usually individually wrapped, bite-sized candies. They can be eaten alone or you can unwrap a lot of them, heat them, and then use them as you would homemade caramel. Caramel has a rich, very sweet taste. The consistency of caramel is pretty sticky and only becomes stickier as it gets warmed in your mouth. Caramel color is a compound used for coloring foods, most notably colas.
This highly concentrated product is nearly percent caramelized sugar and has a strong, bitter flavor. Caramel color is used in small quantities and only for color rather than flavor. While there is no exact swap for caramel, it is possible to make a vegan version. Melt the oil and syrup together and then whisk in the almond butter. Add a bit of salt or cinnamon for taste.
Caramel treats are sweet and tasty. Once you know how to make the caramel sauce, you'll want to add it to every dessert.
Caramel candy can be found at most major grocery stores in bagged packages. Premade caramel sauce is sometimes sold as an ice cream topping in a glass jar. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to make your own with pantry ingredients. If you make your own caramel sauce, let it come to room temperature.
Then transfer it to a sealed jar and refrigerate. Yes, I do have a recipe for sea salt caramels! Love you post. Never saw anythhing like this for carmel.

Thanks for sharing! My Grandmother use date to make a caramel sauce that would harden when she poured it over our ice cream. No one in my family knows the recipe but I feel like she added butter to it as well as the sugar. Any idea how I can do this.
If you have any tips please let me know. Thank you. No offence but this recipe is nonsense. The moment the sugar starts turning brown.. This recipe is superb! Although my first attempt ended up with burnt sugar? My 11 yr old daughter and I made this together to put on our ice cream. We added the salt and vanilla in the end.
