Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can Sweetened Milk 14 oz can, condensed
- 5 cup Water
Instructions
- Fill a large, deep saucepan with 5 cups of water.
- Place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in the saucepan. Ensure the water level is at least 2 inches above the top of the can. This will ensure even cooking and prevent scorching.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 2 ½ hours. Simmering low and slow allows the condensed milk to caramelize evenly.
- Every 30 minutes, gently turn the can to ensure even caramelization. Add more water as needed to maintain the 2-inch water level above the can. Maintaining the water level prevents the can from overheating and bursting.
- After 2 ½ hours, carefully remove the can from the hot water using tongs. Allow the can to cool completely to room temperature before opening. The caramel will thicken as it cools.
- Once cooled, open the can and enjoy your homemade caramel! It's delicious drizzled over ice cream, used as a cake filling, or enjoyed by the spoonful.
