CARAMEL COFFEE SYRUP



Caramel Coffee Syrup image

easy and cheaper than buying it and definitely cheaper than buying a coffee from starbucks! From the joy of cooking Edit: I would like to point out that this recipe comes from The Joy of Cooking and is, therefore, not a troll. I have made it successfully several times as have other people. If you are having a problem it is possible that you may not be letting the sugar actually dissolve. This process takes several minutes and you will know you have achieved it when the syrup is almost clear and you don't have any granules on the bottom while you stir.

SPICED CARAMEL SYRUP



Spiced Caramel Syrup image

While this syrup was created by the pastry chef Daniel Skurnick to pour over his Franco-Chinese steamed ginger-milk custard, it's a good recipe to have handy when you want something to pour over cooked fruit, ice cream or pudding - I like it paired with vanilla, chocolate or butterscotch. It's a quickly made syrup flavored with peppercorns, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Mr. Skurnick says you should cook the caramel until its color is "Irish-setter red" before adding the spices - it's a perfect description of what you're looking for.

Provided by Dorie Greenspan

Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield Enough to top 6 custards

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
10 black peppercorns
4 whole cloves
1 slice nutmeg (about 1/4 of a whole nutmeg)
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water

Steps:

  • Pour the sugar into a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Once the sugar starts to color, swirl the pan so that it melts and colors evenly.
  • When the caramel is a light reddish-brown color, or as Mr. Skurnick says, "Irish-setter red" (it takes about 5 minutes to reach this stage), drop in the spices and, standing away from the pan, carefully pour in the water. When it boils, reduce the heat to very low and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Strain the caramel into a heatproof container (discard the spices or use them for tea), and cool completely. You can keep the syrup covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It will thicken; warm gently to reliquefy.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup sugar, plus
1/2 cup sugar
8 large seedless oranges
mint sprig

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  • In a small saucepan, bring ½ cup of the sugar and 3 tbsp of water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar; boil without stirring until the mixture turns a golden amber colour, about 5-6 minutes; immediately pour the caramel onto the oiled baking sheet and tilt the sheet to spread the caramel as thin as possible (use a pot-holder or towel as the baking sheet will be hot from the caramel); cool completely; break up the caramel into pieces; in a food processor, pulse the caramel pieces until chopped into pieces the size of chocolate chips; do not overprocess; the caramel chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week; if they stick together, give the airtight container a bang on the kitchen counter, and that should loosen things up.
  • Using a small, sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all the bitter, white pith; working over a heatproof bowl, cut between the membranes to release the orange sections; measure out ½ cup of the orange juice.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the remaining 2/3 cup sugar and ¼ cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar; boil without stirring until the mixture turns a golden amber colour, anywhere from 5-7 minutes; remove the caramel from heat and add the reserved orange juice - avoid spatters- stir and cook over low heat until smooth; let cool slightly; pour the sauce over the oranges, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, stirring occasionally.
  • To serve: Arrange the orange slices in dessert bowls; spoon some of the juices into each bowl and sprinkle with caramel chips; garnish with mint sprigs.

BUTTERMILK CARAMEL SYRUP



Buttermilk Caramel Syrup image

This caramel syrup recipe is going to change your life. OK, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is going to change your breakfast. Serve it with waffles and every type of pancake. It is absolutely heavenly! I found this recipe on The Epicurean Connection. I have not tried this, but hoping to soon!

Provided by internetnut

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring buttermilk, sugars, and butter to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in soda and vanilla. It will bubble up a lot. Hopefully you used a large saucepan like I told you. As it cools, the bubbles will go away.
  • *Notes:.
  • -The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter. I cut back to 1/4 cup to save my waistline and my husband's cholesterol, but you can feel free to use all of it if you so desire. I won't stand in your way.
  • -This stuff is so delicious, we haven't gone back to maple syrup. We also use it on buttermilk pancakes, waffles, and German pancakes. It can also be served over ice cream.
  • -Several readers have asked how long this will keep in the refrigerator. I'm not exactly sure because with 4 hungry boys we finish things off pretty fast. But I know we've kept some for at least 2-3 months and it was just fine.

APPLE CARAMEL SYRUP

Steps:

  • I happened to over cook my apples after I peeled and cored them so they were to soft to even try to get them out and drain them.
  • (I had a canner full of apples.) So I mashed them with the juice, (left some lumps) and came up with this recipe.
  • You can use it as Ice cream Topping, or Pancake/waffle syrup.
  • I put the apple mixture in a kettle and heated.
