Homemade Caramel
is one of our all time favorite
"sweet treats"...
My husbands family has made it for years
& we continue the tradition today.

It's easy to make, absolutely delicious
& it makes a wonderful gift!
~ Here's How to Make It ~
Get a can of sweet condensed milk.
Take the label off, put into a pot and cover with water.
You can do 1 can or up to 6 cans at a time.
Boil for about 2-5 hours depending on what consistency you are looking for. Yes, I know, it's a long time...
but it's so worth it!
- For a pourable "Sauce-like" consistency = boil for 2 hours
- For a Caramel "Dipping" consistency = boil for 3 hours
- For a thicker "Pudding" like consistency = boil for 4-5 hours
~ The Trick Is ~
Be sure to keep the cans covered with water the whole time! Otherwise, the cans can explode & you'll have a mess!
- Just set a kitchen timer for every 15-20 minutes to check the water level to insure that the can(s) covered and it's at a consistent boil...
- Once you're done boiling, just set the can on a rack to cool down. Do not open while hot!
- If unopened, you can store the cans on the shelf for a few weeks. If opened, store in the fridge in an airtight container.
- The best part is, this can be made ahead of time, so you can have it on hand through the fall/holiday seasons!
