Now's the time to learn about and celebrate National Caramel Day!

History of National Caramel Day.

Some believe that caramel dates back more than a thousand years, to the year 1000 A.D., when the sweet dessert was discovered. The name at the time was very literal, with the "kurat al milh" meaning "sweet ball of salt".

This original version would have been a crispy caramel created by crystallizing sugar in boiling water, similar to what is currently known as crunchy toffee.

Caramel and other delicacies were popular in the Americas around the mid-1600s, when hard candies were made in kettles. Later, caramel evolved into a sweet that contained not just sugar but also cream or milk, resulting in a much softer and chewier delight.

By 1886, Milton S. Hershey had founded the Lancaster Caramel Company, which would later become the Hershey Company, one of the most well-known American chocolate and candy firms today.

If learning about the history of caramel requires some knowledge of how caramel is manufactured, then that knowledge may also be beneficial. Making caramel is surprisingly easy; all you have to do is raise the temperature of sugar to just 170 °C (340 °F), which causes the sugar to dissolve and transform into this incredibly delicious material with its distinctive flavor and beautiful golden hue.

This is only the beginning of the process; it's the journey to what most people consider to be "Caramel," the binder of popcorn and coater of apples. There are a ton of tasty and entertaining delights that you can make with caramel!

There are two methods to actually make the kind of caramel that most people adore. One way to bring out the flavors that everyone adores is to caramelize the sugar and then add the cream, butter, and vanilla. In the other method, they are combined and heated until the milk caramelizes but the sugar does not. "Milk caramel" is the term for this type of caramel.
