"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
4 lb. granulated sugar
Directions:
Directions:
1) Pour a 4 lb. bag of granulated sugar into a glass or ceramic 9x13 baking dish (do not use metal).
2) Bake at 300°F. for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 5 or 6 hours.
3) Stir frequently and thoroughly to give the steam a chance to escape. Use caution as the sugar will be extremely hot.
4) After you have toasted the sugar as much as you want, remove from oven, stir well, and cool completely before storing.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is how to caramelize sugar without liquifying it. Basically, you will be heating plain white sugar in a low oven (300°F.) for several hours. You will frequently stir the sugar, and remove it from the oven before it melts. The result is a sugar that resembles brown sugar, but has a distinctive caramel flavor. Depending on how long you heat it, it can range from light and subtle to dark and nutty. The toasted sugar can be used in any recipe calling for granulated sugar. The result will be a slightly less sweet baked good with a more complex flavor.
