Ingredients

  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 c vinegar
  • berries and other flavors

Preparation

Step 1

Heat sugar and water mixture over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved and bubbly. Swirl gently as it begins to caramelize (lighter color lighter in flavor darker color deeper in flavor). Add in vinegar quickly and all at once. Continue to cook until sugar re-dissolves, and is a liquid state. Add flavoring; if adding a liquid reduce further.
