Homemade Dulce de Leche


Ingredients:

1 can condensed milk, label removed

Directions:

Lift the tab on the condensed milk very carefully and slowly, just until the seal breaks. You don't want to open the can, just give the pressure that will build the tiniest out. If your can doesn't have a pull tab, breach the seal with a can opener.

Place the can in a pot and pour water about 3/4 the way up the can.

Bring water to a simmer and cook for ~3 hours, replenishing the water level every 30 minutes. The milk will bubble out of the can, but you'll only lose a tablespoon or two.

Let cool, open the can, and use. Keep any leftovers refrigerated.
