Drizzled over ice cream, coated over nuts, or poured onto puddings; runny or hard caramel is a delicious and versatile addition to any sweet treat.

Ingredients:

• 200g Golden Caster Sugar

Method:

1. Place an un-oiled dry pan on a high heat.
2. Pour in the Caster Sugar  and heat to make it dissolve.
3. Don't stir the sugar as it melts- tip the pan instead to avoid burning it.
4. If lumps form don’t stir, reduce the heat slightly.
5. Once the sugar has melted reduce the heat, tipping the pan slowly until the Caramel has turned a rich golden brown and is bubbling gently.
6. Once the sugar has fully dissolved stir the Caramel.
7. To make Caramel-Coated Nuts, pour in the nuts into the pan until they are fully coated, then remove and place on a sheet of baking paper and allow to cool.
8. To make hard Caramel, pour the caramel onto a sheet of baking paper, and once cooled crack into pieces.
9. Serve and enjoy on a pudding of your choice.
