 Title:   Caramel Sweetened Condensed Milk
 Categories: Toppings
 Yield: 6 Servings
 
 1      cn            Sweetened condensed milk
                         -   (not evaporated)
 
  Remove label from can.  Place UNOPENED can in the bottom of a VERY DEEP
 pot, such as a deep dutch oven.  Cover with water so that the water is 3 to
 4-inches above the can. Bring the water to a boil and boil steadily for
 four (4) hours.
 
 YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE CAN IS ALWAYS TOTALLY COVERED WITH WATER. NEVER
 LET THE WATER LEVEL GET DOWN TO THE TOP OF THE CAN, BECAUSE THIS COULD
 CAUSE THE  CAN TO EXPLODE.
 
 Don't worry, I've been doing this for years and years.  At Easter time I
 boil 2 to 3 cans at once. After the four (4) hours is up, remove the can
 with tongs and  place on a wire rack to cool. Be assured, the can will not
 explode.  Refrigerate.  When can is cold, open and you will have soft
 caramel; even the color is caramel.  The only bad thing about boiling this
 one can is that you will be sorry you didn't boil two or three.
