Prepare the Can:Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Ensure there are no tears or holes in the label.
Boil the Can:Place the unopened can in a large pot and fill the pot with water, making sure the can is fully submerged.
Simmer:Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Simmer for Hours:Allow the can to simmer for about 2 to 3 hours. This slow cooking process will transform the sweetened condensed milk into caramel.
Check the Water Level:Periodically check the water level during the simmering process, ensuring that the can remains fully submerged. Add more water if needed.
Cool Completely:After simmering, carefully remove the can from the hot water and let it cool completely before opening.
Open and Enjoy:Once cooled, open the can. You’ll find a rich and creamy caramel inside.
Use or Store:Use the caramel immediately or transfer it to a jar for storage. It can be refrigerated for several weeks.
