Utterly Mad

Zaweri's Hard Caramel

Ingredients:

500g of sugar

100ml of RUNNING honey or 200ml of light corn syrup

100ml water

Food coloring (optional)

Food flavoring (optional)

Nonstick cooking spray / vegetable oil to grease the mold / baking tray

Step 1: Acquire a heat resistant small mold/mould or use a baking tray covered with aluminium foil.

Step 2: Put the sugar, water and honey in a saucepan

Step 3: Fill a plastic cup or a coffee mug with water (NOT GLASS!)

Step 4: Heat up the sugar, water and honey at medium heat and once in a while drop a drop of the molten sugar, water and honey to the cup of water, if it becomes a glass-like drop upon hitting water, take it off the hot surface.

Optional Step: Add your food coloring and flavoring and mix them in well.

Step 5: Grease the baking tray covered in aluminium foil or the mold/mould with veggy oil or nonstick cooking spray (Be fast so the sugar mixture does not harden while you are doing this)

Step 6: Pour the molten sugar into the mould/covered baking tray. Don't worry if some of it sticks to the pan and hardens.

Step 7: While waiting for it to harden in the mould/tray, start washing the saucepan by just putting water in it, the water will bind the sugar into itself.

Step 8: Wait for it to harden.
(if using a thick mould you might want to leave them for a long time, because the sugar inside could still be molten and ruin lives)

Optional Step: If you are using a baking sheet covered with aluminium foil, get something to whack the hard caramel with. it will result in edible fragments that look kind of like glass.

Congratulations! If you did everything correctly, you now have a candy that lasts for a long time.
Eating it: Suck on the fragments / moulded chunks.
