Slow Cooker Dulce De Leche - milk

Method

• Remove the label from the canned sweetened condensed milk and place the can on its side in a slow cooker. Note that you can easily double or even quadruple this recipe by just adding more cans to your slower cooker.
• Submerge the can in water with at least 2 inches of water covering it. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 to 9 hours. Less time for a milky and smooth sauce, more time for a toasty and thick spread.
• Once the cooking time has passed, carefully remove the cans from the slow cooker with tongs and let them cool on a kitchen towel. You can speed up the cooling time by running them under cold water. Caution: Allow the cans to cool completely before opening. If you open them while they are hot the contents can explode out of the can and burn you.
• Use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a covered glass jar for up to 4 weeks. Do not store in the original can as it's seal may have been damaged during the cooking process.
• Note: Dulce de leche has the consistency of a sauce when warmed and the consistency of a spread when served at room temperature. It's delicious drizzled on ice cream and other desserts. It makes a scrumptious fruit dip. It also can be used as a caramel flavored sweetener in baking or in your cup of coffee.
