Food browning is a favorite ingredient to many Island recipes. It is nothing more than cooked sugar browned in a pan. It is sold in bottles in Caribbean food store. I live in Florida, so my local food store sells it. They have one for fish and one for meat and an all purpose one. It is slightly sweet and not at all salty. It is used to enhance the color of the foods while giving it a rich flavor to blend with the other ingredients. You really should try it in a lot of  recipes. It works wonders in the crock pot. It will give beef a nice rich color. Hope this helps.
