runny caramel
I had an interesting dish in a restaurant the other day of hard spicy cheese
with a drizzle of a very runny caramel over it. How do I make a runny caramel? Do I just add more liquid? Using milk rather than cream? I guess the question is what makes the caramel runny? |

Usually caramel is just sugar, cooked slowly. Some people begin with water, but that just prolongs the process. Caramel SAUCE has more in it, like cream or milk. > I guess the question is what makes the caramel runny? > Don't cook your caramel to hard crack! <smile> Practice safe eating - always use condiments |

I'd say adding some water rather than cream will give you a free-flowing, caramel-colored (and flavored) syrup that doesn't harden when it cools. Sounds like an interesting dish -- do you remember what kind of cheese it was? -j |

runny caramel
In answer to all the questions:
All of the caramels I have ever done hardened when cooled. This was downright viscous liquid. The dish I had had it over a very sharp aged gouda, but I am thinking it would work really great over something like munchego(Sp?)

How about making a traditional caramel with just sugar and then adding that to
something like corn syrup? |
