Description

Gravy browning is a liquid or powder, often made from caramelized sugar and water (sometimes with molasses/spices), used to add a rich, deep brown color to gravies, soups, stews, and even cakes, enhancing their appearance without significantly altering flavor, though a little goes a long way to avoid bitterness. It’s a common ingredient in British/Commonwealth cooking for that classic look, with popular commercial brands like Sarson’s or Cool Runnings, but easily made at home by burning sugar and adding water.
