How do you fix burnt sugar?
Sprinkle some baking soda in the bottom of the pan and then add enough water to cover the scorched food. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer it for 15 to 30 minutes to loosen the burnt sugar. In place of the baking soda, you can also try two or three cut-up lemons or salt.
Burnt sugar is essentially sugar that has melted and caramelized. It has notes of sweetness with very subtle, yet complex hints of bitterness.
If your sugar does happen to crystallize in the pan, don't fret. It's happened to all of us. Simply add water to the pan and bring the liquid to a boil; the water will loosen the hardened sugar and make it easier to clean the pan before you try again.

The burnt sugar syrup can even add flavor to a co*cktail like an old fashioned, or be poured into an iced coffee for an unexpected touch. You can also consider substituting burnt sugar for molasses in certain recipes.
