Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The key to this recipe is properly caramelizing the sugar. Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent burning, otherwise the finished caramel will taste bitter. I'll explain in more detail below. The finished dessert can be served at the table.

Step 6
Thoroughly mix the mixture. Don't worry if lumps form at the bottom. Return the pot to medium heat and cook until the lumps dissolve. The longer the caramel cooks, the thicker it will become. For thin caramel, 5 minutes is sufficient; for thicker caramel, cook for 10–15 minutes.
