Caramel sauce

 Recipe from chef patrick

Ingredients :
Here, you will find my advices and tips to make your caramel sauce a "reussite" every time.

there is what you need to make a caramel sauce:
300g caster sugar
1 lemon juice
10 table spoons of water

Direction :
1) The first tip is to make sure that you use a pot with a thick bottom to make your caramel. So, in that pot mix your sugar with six table spoons of water, with a wooden spoon making sure not to splash any sugar onto the sides of your pot.
2) Add the lemon juice and place your pot on the heat.
3) When, the sugar has started to boil do not stir it at all. When, the sugar starts to take a slight brown colour, start giving a rotating motion to your pot to even the colour of your caramel.
4) When the sugar has reach the golden, brown colour of a caramel, carefully add a couple of table spoons of water and stir your caramel with your wooden spoon. Repeat this last step a second time and quickly transfer your caramel sauce into a different container (avoid plastic).
5) At this point, your caramel must be quite thin. Let it cool down and preserve it into a glass jar tightly closed in the fridge until needed.
