Cook Time
Instructions
- So I am going to simplify this recipe for you. In a heavy pan on med-high heat (6 on a 1-10 scale) pour ingredients in.
- Set until the sugar melts and starts to simmer.
- Stir constantly, not scraping the sides.( I use a metal whisk)
- How long you cook it will determine consistency, the mixture will also get darker the longer you cook it.
- At simmering point: 2 minutes for caramel sauce 5 minutes for thicker sauce for apples and such 7-8 minutes will thicken in 8 hours to chewy candies.
