  2. CARAMEL PREPRATION: In a heavy bottomed pan, add the sugar and a tbsp of water on medium high heat. The sugar will start to melt and start to change colour. Swirl the vessel a couple of times. Slowly the colour will become a little dark golden brown. Turn off the heat, immediately pour half a cup of water, stir and mix well (Wear oven mittens and a long sleeve shirt. Caramel is hot and can splatter, especially when adding water).
