ONE INGREDIENT SOFT CARAMEL
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Candies
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 can Sweetened condensed milk -- (not evaporated)
Remove label from can. Place UNOPENED can in the bottom of a VERY DEEP pot,
such as a deep dutch oven.
Cover with water so that the water is 3 to 4-inches above the can. Bring the
water to a boil and boil steadily for four (4) hours.
YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE CAN IS ALWAYS TOTALLY COVERED WITH WATER. NEVER
LET THE WATER LEVEL GET DOWN TO THE TOP OF THE CAN, BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE
THE CAN TO EXPLODE.
Don't worry, I've been doing this for years and years. At Easter time I
boil 2 to 3 cans at once.
After the four (4) hours is up, remove the can with tongs and place on a
wire rack to cool. Be assured, the can will not explode. Refrigerate.
When can is cold, open and you will have soft caramel; even the color is
caramel. The only bad thing about boiling this one can is that you will be
sorry you didn't boil two or three.
