Dulche De Leche

I have often seen this in the shop but never plucked up the courage to buy it. However there is a reason for me printing this recipe here which I hope you will appreciate. The following are methods of how to make your own dulce de leche. Dulce de leche from condensed milk Ingredients: 1 can sweetened condensed milk Directions: 1) Get a large pot with a metal rack 2) Place the can inside the pot on the metal rack 3) Add water to completely cover the can, plus 2-3 inches. 4) Simmer for 3-4 hours 5) The can must always be completely covered in water. Caution: If the can becomes uncovered there could be an explosion 5) Let the can cool for 3-4 hours 6) Open the can and enjoy! Dulce de leche from sugar Ingredients: 3 liters of milk 2 tablespoons of vanilla 1 teaspoon of baking soda 800 grams of fine sugar Directions: 1) Add to a large pot all the ingredientes in this order. 2) Milk, sugar, vanilla and then baking soda. 3) Place over a low low fire and stir slowly 4) Continue stirring until it becomes thick and brown. 5) The preparations can take around 2 hours You can use this to make an ice cream but I found a recipe in last year's December issue of the Good Food Magazine for a Christmas Cream liqueur. I have therefore posted the recipe separately. Enjoy _________________
