Thought this recipe looked easy.....but while cooking the water/sugar it crystalized in the pan before it turned 'amber'!! What did I do wrong? Tried it a second time cooking it over lower heat - it still didn't turn amber so to save the second batch I just added the vinegar and butter. I hope it will carmelize in the oven??? I am writing this before it's done so I don't know the final product yet....
Signed,
Good but frustrated cook!!
