TURBINADO SUGAR is a type of raw sugar, commonly used by food stylist for decorating the tops of pies or cookies, and is usually found in most larger grocery stores.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the caramel. This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Stir the caramel constantly while it is cooking. This will help prevent it from crystallizing.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a hard ball, it is ready.
  • Don't overcook the caramel. If it gets too dark, it will taste bitter.
  • Let the caramel cool slightly before adding it to the pie filling. This will help prevent the filling from curdling.
  • Use a variety of nuts in the pie filling. This will give the pie a more complex flavor.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
