A rich and smoky syrup made from palm sugar, perfect for adding a unique flavor to your culinary creations.
1. Heat the Water
Pour 1 cup of water into a small heavy saucepan and place it over medium-high heat.
2. Add Palm Sugar
As the water heats up, add ¾ cup of chopped palm sugar to the saucepan. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture. Stirring helps dissolve the sugar uniformly as the water warms up.
3. Dissolve the Sugar
Continue stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture looks uniform.
4. Boil and Simmer
Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the mixture to a boil. After it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes to thicken the syrup slightly and enhance the smoky flavor.
5. Cool the Syrup
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool. Once cooled, pour the syrup into a clean glass jar. Label the jar for future use.
Use high-quality, natural palm sugar for the best flavor profile.
Ensure palm sugar is fully dissolved to prevent a grainy syrup texture.
Tailor the level of smokiness to your taste, adjusting as needed.
Employ a smoker or smoking gun, or create a DIY smoker for infusing the smoky flavor.
Choose wood chips according to the desired smokiness, with fruitwood for subtlety and hickory or mesquite for intensity.
