Less likely, it comes from a Medieval Latin cannamella, from canna 'cane' + mella 'honey'. [5] Finally, some dictionaries connect it to an Arabic kora-moħalláh 'ball of sweet'.

It’s a wet caramel that starts with sugar and water, as well as an optional touch of cream of tartar as insurance against crystallizing. Flavor with vanilla, rum, or a dash of boiled cider at the end for extra dimension.

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: You can make this caramel in advance. Make sure it is covered tightly and store it for up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Warm the caramel up for a few seconds before using in a recipe. See “What Is the Texture of This Salted Caramel?” in the post above. This caramel is OK at room temperature for a day if you’re traveling or gifting it. You can freeze the salted caramel, too. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

You could add water, but most caramel recipes use butter or heavy cream (or both). These dairy products contain proteins that undergo a chemical reaction when they hit the hot sugar, adding an incredible amount of depth and flavor to the resulting sauce. A little salt is added to balance out the sweetness, and vanilla extract is often used to add additional flavor. Don’t stir the caramelizing sugar! It may be tempting, but stirring the sugar water mixture will actually encourage grains to form, and the caramel may end up grainy and crystallized. Instead, gently swirl the pan, being careful not to make it go too high up the sides of the pan (as that can cause crystallization too). A small amount of salt is added to caramel for balance. The sugar is extremely sweet, and the butter or heavy cream add an incredible level of richness. A little pinch of salt goes a long way to making taste caramel more balanced. It’s not enough to add a salty flavor, but that can be achieved by topping your caramel sauce with large flakes of salt for a sweet-and-salty vibe.

Even though caramel candy is sometimes called "toffee" and is also compared with butterscotch, there is a difference. While toffee and butterscotch are more closely related than caramel, they do have most of the same ingredients. However, the difference is that toffee and butterscotch uses molasses or brown sugar while caramel uses white sugar. They are also cooked at different temperatures and they each have their own cooking techniques that makes them unique in taste and shape.
