Dulce de leche: success at last

[semperfiona]

At the grocery store today I successfully hunted down and killed a fresh can of sweetened condensed milk. Following Piglet's instructions, I opened it and put it on the stove in a pan of water to simmer for something like three hours, stirring it every twenty minutes or so. At first, it got thinner and runny, but then started to thicken and darken. At the end of the three hours it was a very light caramel color and had the consistency of jam. I spooned some out over vanilla ice cream...mmmmmmmm heavenly.

It makes a terrific pudding, too... I'll have to dig up the recipe...
