| The various types of sugar differ noticeably in the extent to which they caramelize. |
| In a medium saucepan, caramelize the sugar, orange and lemon zest, cardamom, pink peppercorns, and cubeb berries. |
| Reduce to a simmer and leave, approximately 30 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the mixture starts to caramelize. |
| When all the water has boiled away, the sugar begins to caramelize or become brown, and develops a characteristic flavor. |
| Return the pan to medium heat to melt the sugar again and caramelize the nuts. |
| If you overcook your jam, the sugar will caramelize and it won't taste good and there's nothing you can do. |
