Ingredients
- 2 cups any type of brown sugar ((440g) coconut sugar, raw cane sugar works fine)
- 1 cup hot water ((250ml))
- 1-2 tsp pink salt ((optional))
Method
- Add the sugar to an old (preferably non stick) large saucepan and turn on medium heat.
- Use a wooden spoon or spatula and begin to slowly stir. The sugar will start to dissolve and turn into a syrup consistency and then gradually darken (this will take several minutes).
- If the sugar begins to smoke too quickly then reduce the flame or switch off the stove and continue to stir while charring the sugar.
- Once the sugar turns to a very dark almost black colour, it will begin to bubbleΒ (don't let it go too black or it will be too bitter).
- Immediately, remove the saucepan from the stove and carefully add the hot water. The saucepan will yield plenty of steam and may splutter which is normal but please be very careful when following this step and add the water slowly - keep on stirring the liquid.
- Once the sauce is formed add the pink salt and allow to completely cool.
- Pour into a sauce bottle or a pour-able jar.
- Refrigerate and use accordingly in your recipes.
