Homemade browning sauce is made with brown sugar and water, simple to make and great for adding flavor to a variety of dishes, including stews, braised meats and even spicy ginger cakes.
Place brown sugar in a small non-stick pot over a medium heat. Stir occasionally until the brown sugar starts to melt. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Once the brown sugar has melted, continue stirring constantly until it gets very dark, almost black. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once the sugar is dark, remove it from the heat and pour in the water, and stir. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes to cool down. Use in recipes or store for later use.

Notes
Browning can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months in an airtight container.
This homemade browning does not contain salt. You can season the sauce with a pinch of salt if preferred.
In order to avoid burning or damaging your cookware, I strongly suggest using a nonstick pan.
