Equipment

  • Pot With a thick bottom
  • Deciliter Measure

Ingredients

  • 200 gram Cane Sugar
  • 400 gram Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  • Cane sugar is added to a thick-bottomed pot and melted into caramel over medium-high heat (be careful not to burn it)
  • When the cane sugar has turned into caramel and is nice and brown, add the vinegar and reduce to medium heat
  • When it has boiled down to about 2.5 dl in total (takes about 10 min), it is done.
  • It should have the same consistency as honey when it cools. If it has become too thick, you can reboil it with a little water, or boil it down again if it is not thick enough.

Notes

Tip: You can optionally add 1 star anise or a couple of bay leaves for extra flavor when it is done.
