Before we take a look at what caramel is, it’s important to dip into the rich history of this lavish indulgence. The history surrounding caramel is certainly not straight-forward: some believe that the Arabs were the first to discover caramel around 1000AD in the form of “kurat al milh” or “sweet ball of salt”, which was allegedly made by crystallising sugar in boiling water to achieve a hard and crunchy sort of sweet. If you fancy yourself a bit of a dab hand at baking, then incorporate some caramel into your next culinary creation for an extra decadent treat. Butterscotch sauce can be whipped with cream to create an indulgent icing, butter caramel can be spread onto shortbread and topped with chocolate to create a mouth-watering millionaire’s shortbread, and toffee pieces can be shopped up and used as a delicious decorative piece.

About Kathrin & Jan

I do realise that it looks like a sugar overload for every slice, but realistically its not that much for one slice! I do add on a drizzle of caramel for decoration (I used a smidge from a Carnation caramel tin) but this is an optional thang. You can easily use chocolate though as its easier!

You might be surprised to know that one of the first large-scale manufacturers of caramel in the US was Hershey’s during the mid 1800s. Although this company is now better known for its chocolate, Milton Hershey’s first company was called Lancaster Caramel Company, and sold caramels throughout America.

Once opened, consume within 3 months. Do not refrigerate. Best before end: See lid For the type of caramel which is velvety and creamy, additional ingredients need to be added. Cream and butter are often added to create a creamier consistency, preventing the caramel from turning into a frangible substance. Although it is optional, some recipes also call for the addition of salt to cut through the sweetness, but if you’re not a fan of salted caramel then feel free to leave this out, or only use a delicate sprinkling. I decided from the off that after my no-bake Mini Egg cheesecake and my no-bake Creme Egg cheesecakerecipes that I NEEDED to do a caramel one. So, Cadburys caramel it is. You can buy Galaxy caramel eggs around Easter time, but I do love a Cadburys caramel egg quiiiiittteeee a lot so I went for them.

Add another ingredient to the sugar and water: corn syrup, which is mainly glucose, reduces the chances of a chain crystallisation reaction. Acidic ingredients such as a few drops of lemon juice, vinegar and cream of tartar also work to prevent crystallisation by breaking some of the sucrose into its fructose and glucose components. Natural Sweetener (Maltitol*), Vegetable oil (Rapeseed, Sustainable Palm), Fat Reduced Cocoa 14%, Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Sea salt 0.5%, Natural Flavouring.Maltitol is a naturally sourced sweetener that does not promote tooth decay, contains fewer calories than sugar. The dry method – this requires that you simply heat sugar in a dry pan until it liquifies and turns brown. Never stir your mixture, as this could result in crystalisation, ruining your caramel. Instead, gently swirl your pan (a wide-set base works best) to achieve an even melt Avoid dark coloured pots, such as cast iron or anodized aluminum – this can hide the colour of the caramel as it changes so that you won’t be able to see when it’s ready to take off the heat. This gem of a recipe has been idling its time away in my notebooks for a number of years. But last week one of my kids politely requested I make it again soon. Okay,she begged me to make it. So I did – yesterday. I knew straight away that it should make it’s way onto LittleSugarSnaps at the earliest possible moment, so I snapped the pictures today and poor Mr Lentil Salad got banished to oblivion for a week. Exactly how caramel evolved within the UK remains open to discussion. However, us Brits can’t get enough of the stuff, which is why so many home cooks have taken to trying to boil up their own homemade caramel. What are the ingredients in caramel ?

For this Chocolate Caramel Spread, I recommend cooking the caramel to between medium and medium-well done (aka mid-dark amber). Keep your eye on the pan and do not let the caramel get too dark, else the spread will display unpleasant bitter notes when eaten. To make a simple sugar caramel for decorations, there are two different methods you can choose from: When it comes to cooking the caramel, as ever, I recommendnot rushing it. Let the caramel take its sweet time and turn a beautifulshade of amber. And for this, I have a culinary analogy. I think of caramel as I would a steak. It can be cooked to varying degrees:However, if you’re short on time or don’t quite have the confidence to make homemade caramel from scratch, the cheat’s option combines sweetened condensed milk with butter and water for an easy, fail-safe caramel which still tastes delicious: simply melt all ingredients down on a low heat until the sugar caramelises and it turns a rich golden colour.
