Dulce de Leche

Peel labels off the cans.

Place cans in a pot large enough to hold them. Fill one inch past the tops of the cans with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Put lid on the pot.

Meanwhile, bring a kettle to boil with fresh water. Check the cans every 20 minutes or so, and add more boiling water to the pots to keep the cans submerged.

After two hours, drain, and carefully remove the (hot!) cans to the counter. Let them cool for another hour or so.

Open up the cans, and prepare to be dazzled by the creamy and rich brown dulce de leche that pours out of them! Empty them into a mason jar and refrigerate until needed.

Your friends will be begging you for the recipe. You can pretend you were at the stove for hours stirring away, and that’s okay – we won’t tell!
