I have made this king of caramel before. Boiled the can of condensed milk forever it seemed but so worth it once you opened up the can of the best caramel EVER

Agreed. This is the only type we know in Chile. First time I heard about caramel was when I can’t to New Zealand ;)

Sh*t that doesn't sound good. What's the doc put you on for goodness sake?
It's my own fault. I have a bit of pain trying to sleep. Took over the counter sleep/sleep pain meds then my pain pill too close together. Just wrecked my gut. All good now.

Yep same. Burger King here in NZ has gone in receivership....50 something branches and 2000+ people. More and more businesses will follow. The world will be somewhat different for sure. Then again we know mankind...it'll make comeback with a vengeance...!!!
I just love how nature is having a breather.
Great point Fred. Clear skies, quiet roads

Hey buddy. Sorry to hear you're not there yet. You're in my thoughts quite often. I admire your positive spirit through all you're going though mate. You're an inspiration ;)
Ah you cover the can (I do 3 or 4 together) of condensed milk with water...bring it to the boil and simmer for up to 3 hrs. Very important to keep the can covered with water all the time. It can overheat and rupture if not covered.
The time depends on how dark you like your caramel. The milk also has an influence. Minimum time I would say is 2hrs. You'll have to do some trials to see how you like it at what time...;)
I go dark...3 hrs.
I mix some lemon juice with it to cut through the intense sweetness when I use it for the chocolate cake. I love that balance of sweet and tartness.
Most important is let it cool down completely before opening...for obvious reasons :w00t:

forgot to mention that here they also sell the “manjar” ready in a can. Nestle Caramel :D

@Fredman1 thats not super caramel is what in South America we call manjar. It's yummy. Imagine pancakes (not the sweet type tho) fills with it and a bit warm :hubba::hubba:


Never heard of that before, but I want some! I make caramel with sweetened condensed milk in my instant pot. So much easier and faster than stove top.

*need to get more SCM*

A souped up pressure cooker with a variety of electronic settings. Although it's the name of one brand, much like Kleenex here it is used widely for all these types of devices.

Ah yeah that's how like new pressure cooker beside other friends nation are nowadays

I see you are from Chile, I have been to Brazil and Panama but didn't make it to Chile. One of my daughters did her Post Graduate degree in Spanish there at Valpariso University and has many Chilean friends here in NZ. My grandmother was Spanish, not South American but from Barcelona. My 2nd most favourite city on the planet.
Opps, got off topic.....now I want some Russian fudge made with the caramel condensed milk. I do have a condensed milk vape flavouring, haven't used it yet but might try it with a lemon flavour. Adios.:thumbs:
