Ingredients:

1.25 cups

Sugar

1 cup

Water

2 cup

Heavy Cream

Directions:

1

Pour the sugar into the center of a deep saucepan

2

Carefully pour the water around the walls of the pan, trying not to splash any sugar onto the walls

3

Do not stir; gently draw your finger twice through the center of the sugar, making a cross, to moisten it

4

Over high heat, bring to a full boil and cook without stirring until medium caramel in color, swirling the pan occasionally to even out the color, about 5 to 10 minutes

5

Meanwhile, in another saucepan bring the cream and lemon peel to a boil and set aside to infuse the flavor

6

When the caramel is the desired color immediately turn off the heat and use a wooden spoon to slowly and carefully stir in the cream (it will bubble up and may splatter)

7

Pass through a fine strainer and serve warm
