Instructions
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Stir a few times and allow to simmer until the sauce turns deep brown, about 15 minutes.
Have some extra hot water ready on hand.
Once the sauce reaches the desired color, carefully add 8 to 9 Tablespoons hot water to slow the cooking and thin the sauce.
If necessary, add more hot water.
The sauce should only be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Set aside to cool.
