Homemade caramel sauce
There are many ways to make your own caramel, using the 'dry' method with only sugar or by adding a small amount of water for the 'wet' method. The end result will be the same, using water is just a little bit easier when making caramel for the first time
Add sugar into a pan and turn the heat down low. It's very important to not stir! You'll notice the sugar will slowly melt and the sides will show discoloration first. Keep the fire low and do not stir. After a few minutes all of the sugar will be melted. Help the middle part a little bit by moving the pan around. Some caramel will stick to the edges of the pan, clean this up using a wet brush to prevent the caramel from burning.
