The Recipe Corner - Sweetened Condensed Milk Caramel

1 can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated) 

Remove label from can. Place unopened can in the bottom of a very deep pot.. 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. You can boil it with the lid on to slow down the evaporation. You will have to add water (hot hot hot) as you go.

After four hours remove the can from the water and allow it to cool. When can is cold or at least cool to the touch, open and you will have soft caramel; even the color is caramel. Keep it refrigerated.

Great as a fruit dip. Warm in a microwave and pour over cake, Service with crispy cookies and ice cream. Or just get a spoon.
