To make caramel using the wet method, you will need two cups of white, granulated sugar, half a cup of water and a quarter teaspoon of lemon juice or cream of tartar. If you only require a small amount of caramel, you can halve the quantities provided above: one cup of sugar, a quarter cup of water and 1/8 teaspoon of lemon juice or cream of tartar. Depending on the desired thinness or thickness, your ratio of sugar to water will vary. The thinner you want the sauce, the more water you should add. Watch the mixture closely until it reaches a uniform rich, brown color. When the entire contents of the pot reach this even tone and are slightly thickened, you know the caramelizing process is done. As soon as the caramel reaches the desired color, remove it from the heat immediately. If you leave the caramel too long it will turn almost black in color and have a burnt, bitter smell. If this happens, you will need to begin again. Use your caramel to top a flan, to make caramel candies or spun sugar, or simply drizzle it over ice cream! Caramel hardens very quickly after it cools down. If you wait too long to use it on your dessert, it could be too stiff to pour or spread. If this happens, simply place the saucepan back over a low heat and wait for the caramel to liquefy again. Swirl the pan rather than stir.

Summary: Gather your ingredients. Know when the caramelization is complete. Use caramelized sugar on dessert immediately.

Cut into the avocado carefully, so as not to injure the pit, which is in the fruit's center. You can do this by scoring the skin/fruit about an inch (1.3 cm) deep all the way around the outside, and then twisting the two halves in opposite directions to open it. Carefully remove the pit and set it aside. So that you don't waste the fruit, use the avocado meat to create the tasty dip/topping known as guacamole.
Summary: Remove the pit.
