National Caramel Day
Every year, Caramel enthusiasts celebrate their favorite dish on National Caramel Day. Observed on April 5th, this versatile confection adds a touch of salty, creamy flavor to desserts, pastries, and candies.
Caramels are made by adding milk and fat to a sugary syrup that has been simmered and continuously stirred until it reaches a light brown color. American women made candies using caramelized sugar and water as early as the seventeenth century... Since it was an easy candy to make, it made its way into several recipes. Someone around the year 1850, someone discovered that adding milk and a fat product to the cooked sugar mixture resulted in a soft, chewy candy. It should be no surprise how quickly soft caramel became popular.
Both bakers and pastry chefs use caramel to make a variety of desserts, whether as a main ingredient, flavoring, or topping.. It can be used as a syrup or as the glue holding together nuts and popcorn, depending on the consistency. The candy makes delicious caramel apples in a more pliant form. The caramel can become brittle if cooked to a higher temperature, and is ideal for just that kind of candy making..
The longer caramel cooks, it takes on a deeper color and a darker taste until the sugar becomes bitter and is no longer palatable.
