Caramel Coloring - brown sugar

Method

• Place brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy pan over medium heat.
• Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and starts to take on a deep brown color.
• Do not burn the sugar.
• Add boiling water, little by little and stirring constantly.
• Be careful; the sugar syrup is very hot and can cause painful burns if it erupts over the pan.
• Continue cooking and stirring until the caramel has reduced somewhat and reached a slightly syrupy consistency.
