Ingredients

1 cup
granulated sugar
1 cup
water, divided
1 tsp.
pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Step 1In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and ½ cup water. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and maintain a low boil. Let boil, stirring as little as possible, until mixture is a golden amber color.
2. Step 2Remove from heat and very carefully and slowly, add remaining ½ cup of water. Mixture will steam and splatter. Aim for the side of the pan as you pour in water to reduce splattering. Stir in vanilla.
3. Step 3Allow mixture to cool completely before transferring to another container and storing in the refrigerator.
