homemade caramel sauce — Housewife's Whimsy

Dulce De Leche is a smooth caramel flavored sauce popular in Latin countries. This caramel is very easy to make if you have a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk on hand. Most recipes I’ve seen call for you to use a crockpot to boil the can of milk for several hours. I didn’t want to do this because it can be dangerous and create rust lines in the bottom of your crockpot.I decided to do essentially the same thing, but with baking pans in the oven. Make sure that you put in enough water so that the pans don’t dry out. If your pans dry out they can shatter in the oven. I put in water about half way up my pans, and next time I think I’ll probably put in more. By the end there was very little water left in my pan.

Pour the condensed milk into an 8x8 baking pan. Cover with tin foil.Put the 8x8 pan into a 13x9 baking pan. Fill with water, about halfway up the sides.

Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, until the milk is golden brown.Remove from the oven, uncover and transfer to the bowl of a food processor or the cup of a stick blender.

Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until thickened, about 1 hour.If not using right away cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator 100_2017 - Copy
