Where does caramel come from?
Caramel is made by heating sugar or other carbohydrates until they melt, and the hydrogen and oxygen ions start to break off and reform as steam that is given off, leaving a l…ess hydrogenated carbohydrate. There are other complex reactions that occur as well, such as fracturing of carbon chains and bonding with any other chemicals that are present. The resultant mix has the colouring and flavour known as caramel, but there are different flavours and colours possible in caramel depending on the type of carbohydrates used, degree of heating, and the other chemicals present. .
To make a caramel flavoured sauce, gently heat brown sugar and butter in a pan till it boils and darkens slightly, then add milk to get the consistency you want. . (MORE)
