Red Wine Caramel - sugar

Method

• In a medium saucepan, bring the granulated sugar and water to a boil over moderately high heat, washing down the side of the pan with a moistened pastry brush.
• Cook without stirring until a pale-amber caramel forms, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and carefully add the red wine.
• Cook, stirring to dissolve the hardened caramel, until it is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the caramel to a pitcher and serve warm.
