Spanish term or phrase: acaramelar
Sé que se podría traducir como "to coat with caramel", pero estoy tratando de conseguir un término único porque se trata de un glosario y acaramelar es la palabra a definir. ¿Habrá alguna manera de resolver este dilema?

"**ACARAMELAR**: Consiste en bañar piezas terminadas con un caramelo, el cual puede ser azúcar quemada o elaborado a partir de un jarabe. "

Clarification request(s) and response
Elizabeth Lyons: 5:42pm Mar 3, 2006: Yvonne, I assume you are not looking for the word caramelize because that really refers to making caramel from sugar. If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a short term for the process of covering, dipping or coating something With caramel? -
Yvonne Becker: 5:47pm Mar 3, 2006: You are right Elizabeth. The definition of caramelize does not fit here. I'm looking exactly for the short term for the process described above.
Elizabeth Lyons: 11:39pm Mar 4, 2006: Gracias y suerte, Yvonne. -

caramel-coat
Explanation:
This is what I would suggest here, as in "candy-coat" or "candy-coated". If you need a single term, there isn't any one that I know of, from my baking school experience. HTH.

  -> Thanks Xenia!
neutral Elizabeth Lyons: In culinary terms, this means the process of producing the caramel or caramelizing the sugar, turning sugar into caramel//Sabrina, it is understandable since caramelize is a commonly heard term in everyday English : ).
2 mins
  -> Really? Thanks for your comment, I didn't know that
disagree Heidi C: sorry, to caramelize, as Elizabeth says, is something completely different. You caramelize sugar, but also onions (when you heat them till they turn brown and release their sugars).
16 mins
disagree Simon Bruni: yes, if we are going to get scientific, caramelisation is the oxidation of sugars
