Homemade caramel
Category: Bakery
Ingredients
sugar 1 tbsp
water 1/4 tbsp
vinegar 1/2 tsp
Cooking method

A saucepan is needed with a thick bottom - otherwise it will burn.
We make caramel according to the recipe: sugar 1 cup + 1/4 cup of water (enough so that the sugar is only slightly moistened) + 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar. What exactly does vinegar do here - I can't say for sure, but they add it there (according to old recipes). Most likely - to avoid sugar crystallization.
Then we cook everything over low heat until the test for a "hard ball" (we drip the syrup into the water, it is necessary that it becomes like chewing gum - it does not disintegrate, but limes and stretches). It is better not to cook it, than to digest it, otherwise you will get burnt sugar - it is not for everyone, not everyone likes it.
If you are going to sculpt from caramel, then after cooking we put the dishes in which everything was cooked in a saucepan with hot water so that the caramel solidifies more slowly, and you have time to make something out of it.

Tatyana, is this a recipe for "cockerels"?
I remember cooking as a child. There were also special molds
And they also added butter at the end and the taste of toffee was.
Thank you for reminding the recipe.
pssaha
yudinel, yes)) I still have forms))

Tatyana, please tell me, what do you think, is it possible to make a bear in silicone mold from caramel according to this recipe? Teddy bear right here



and how does the paint fall on the caramel, or is it more correct to ask if it will be possible to paint the bear later?

I am composing a cake for my son for 1 year. Thank you!

Svetlenki, Sveta, the link to the mold does not open (((I did shallow molds, everything is fine!)
Colored the caramel itself, that is, the water that we fill. Mostly with kandurin, it shimmers well) Because of the color of the caramel itself, you will not get pure colors ... And on top it is unlikely that the caramel can be painted .. it will flow from paint-water ...

Girls, tell me, what am I doing wrong? It is very necessary to get caramel of blue and blue colors, but when you add a blue dye, it turns green for some reason. I have already tried everything, and the vinegar added both dye immediately during and after cooking, and green with yellow instead of blue and into blue yellow. Fuf ... I always found a common language with caramel, and the colors were obtained according to the plan, but this is something ...
pssaha
Tanuhka, I'm sorry, I didn't see it right away ... I think blue can only be obtained from isomalt .. it's colorless .. and sugar, in any case, turns yellow. I have always painted isomalt without problems in the right colors ...
Tanuhka
pssaha, thanks, but there is no time to order isomalt. I will get out ((
And yes, with blue, I understand everything, but with blue, what? It turns out to be some kind of swampy, dark khaki ..
