Caramel

From Off the Mark and Roaming by
June 13, 2009

Has anyone tried to make caramel from cans of sweetened Evaporated Milk?

I have always wanted to try this. You take the paper off the can and immerse in a pot of water, bring to boiling and leave it for around 40 minutes. Let the can cool completely before you open it.

Mine came out creamy and golden but I wish it was a bit thicker, will have to let it cook a bit longer next time.

Doesn’t that make dulce de leche?

It does not taste the same as making it with milk and sugar but it is about the same.
