This caramel sauce is so super simple that you’ll make it all the time.  I always thought that Sweetened Condensed Milk was just for baking.  WRONG.  I can’t get enough of this stuff.  When I make this I store it in a little container in my fridge and it’s ready to go when I need it.  The only disadvantage to it is you can also eat it by the spoonful.  It tastes like a little bit of heaven in your mouth.  Thick, creamy and sweet. Oooohhhh it’s so good!

This is the only ingredient you will need.

Place the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk into a pot of cold water, making sure the can is totally covered with water. Bring it to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 2 1/2-3 hours. Yes 2 1/2-3 hours.

I cover the  pot leaving the lid just off to the side a bit.  I also keep a kettle of  HOT water handy in case I need to add it to the simmering pot with the Sweetened Condensed Milk.  The Sweetened Condensed Milk must always be submerged in water.  When it has simmered for 2 1/2 hours remove it from the water and let it cool completely.

Then open the can.

This is what you have created.  A soft sweet carmel that you can use in your coffee, tea, salad dressings, baking, sandwiches, on burgers, hot dogs, just let your imagination run wild.  I have a recipe on my blog for a green tea frappicino using this. FANTASTIC!  Seriously, you HAVE to try this!
