I am unable to eat dairy at the moment and so was excited to find this recipe which called for only sugar and water to make a caramel-flavored syrup (I was hoping to to add it to hot apple cider - yum!). Unfortunately this recipe really didn't work out well at all. I think the main problem is the "low heat." Perhaps it is just my stove or the size of pan that I used, but I stirred the sugar for half an hour and all I had was tan colored sugar lumps. I finally tried searching out another recipe, and it called for medium heat. Turning the heat up helped a lot although by that time my concoction was a lot darker than I was hoping for. Please also keep in mind if you do make this that melted sugar can cause very bad burns, so be extra careful not to let it splatter on skin!

I have always loved to cook . I found out very young that a little herb is better to start. As well when experimenting with new herbs you can rub some in the palm of your hand, taste your sauce or whatever , smell the herb at the same time and you can tell what that addition will taste like! (with out potentially ruining your dish)
When I found the zarr I was on a search for diabetic recipes, I had recently had my stomach removed (stomach cancer) and could no longer tolerate sugar, at all. That has subsided to some extent, I loved the fact that all recipes are not only are able to be reduced by servings but nutritional value as well.
Thank you Zarr!!
