Result of heating sugar (7)

I believe the answer is:

caramel

(Other definitions for caramel that I've seen before include "Chewy sweet - burnt sugar" , "Burnt sugar used for flavouring" , "Sugar solution heated till brown" , "Cooked sugar" , "It's produced by heating sugar until brown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
