Ingredients

1 C Demerara sugar
1 C water

Instructions

Combine the sugar and the water in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Turn on heat to medium or medium high. Stir to combine the sugar and water.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure the sugar doesn't burn to the bottom of the pan. Continue to simmer until all the sugar is dissolved, and the syrup starts to thicken slightly (about 10 minutes).
Turn off the heat and allow the syrup to cool. Transfer to a glass jar or airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

Notes

The sugar will dissolve quickly in this recipe - and if you want, you can take if off the heat right then. For a deeper flavor, let the syrup simmer for about 10 minutes.
