Ingredients

  • 28 ounces sweetened condensed milk 2 cans
  • 3 /2 pint canning jars
  • water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Empty the two cans of condensed milk into the canning jars and securely tighten the lids.
  2. Place in an empty slow cooker and cover with water. The water should rise at least 1 inch above the jars.
  3. Place the lid on the slow cooker and turn to low heat for 10 hours or until it's reached the color you prefer. The longer you cook it, the darker it will get, so cook it to your preference.
  4. Remove from the water and allow to cool to room temperature.
  5. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

Notes

  • You may use dulce de leche in most recipes that call for caramel. We often use it as a dip for fruit or to drizzle over cakes or ice cream or swirled into your favorite homemade brownies.
  • This recipe can also be made by boiling the cans of sweetened condensed milk on the stove for 3 hours, but you'll have to be very careful to keep the liquid at a low boil and keep the water above the cans. There is a risk of the cans exploding with this method, so we always use the crockpot just to be safe.
