Time 35m

Yield 2 - 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups sugar
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and water in a heavy-bottom saucepan made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper or unchipped agate. Start cooking over low heat. If any syrup spatters onto the inside of the saucepan, use a brush dipped in cold water to wipe it away. This will prevent the syrup from crystallizing when it has finished cooking.
  • Once syrup is boiling, add lemon juice. Continue cooking until syrup has a clear dark-amber or caramel color. It should register about 248 degrees on a thermometer used for candy. It will take about 20 minutes for the syrup to start to boil.
