SWEETEN YOUR WINTER
WITH
Dulce de leche
Recipe by Jay Hall
Low temps and wet weather have us snuggled up inside more for the next couple of
months and nothing brightens up a gloomy wintery day then a tasty sweet snack!
Dulce de leche adds pizazz to a plain treat and it is easy to make with just a couple
ingredients and a little patience. The time it takes to make is well worth the wait when
your finished product is a delicious sauce that tastes great poured over freshly popped
corn or a bowl of vanilla ice cream. It also makes a delightful drizzle over handmade
baked goods perfect to gift your loved ones for Valentine’s Day!
You’ll Need:
1 can condensed milk
Large pot/stock pot
Water
Metal Jar Lid or Steamer lift
1. Place unopened can of condensed milk
in pot on top of metal jar lid, steamer
lift, or other appropriate riser to keep
can from direct contact with bottom
of pot.
2. Fill pot with water so that it not only
covers the can but has at least a can’s
height worth of water above it as well.
3. Set the stove to med-high heat and let
sit for approximately 3 hours; check
pot regularly to make sure that the
can is always covered with water.
Add water, as needed. (If can is not
properly covered throughout cooking,
it could explode.)
4. After 3 hours, remove pot from burner
and let cool
5. Use immediately or refrigerate
until needed
With a crockpot:
Place can in crockpot (no riser needed)
and fill with water. Cook on high for 2-3
hours. Maintain water line above the top
of the can at all times. When done, turn
off crockpot and let cool fully before
enjoying.
With a sous-vide:
Same directions as stove top cooking,
minus the stove! Cook for 3 hours on
high heat, maintaining water line so it
always covers can fully.
That’s it! Simple and sweet!
