Time 8h2m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 (5 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 pint water

Steps:

  • Remove the label from the cans of sweetened condensed milk.
  • Place the cans on their side inside the crock pot.
  • Fill the crock pot with water so that there is at least an inch of water covering the top of the cans. Make sure that there is always enough water completely covering the cans.
  • Set the crock pot on low and cook the cans in water for 8 hours.
  • When cooking is complete let the cans COOL until they are room temperature. DO NOT OPEN the cans when they are hot, because there is the potential chance for explosion.
  • Warning: make sure your cans are not dented or damaged in anyway. Using a damaged can could lead to problems when cooking.
  • What I love about this recipe is that you can start it before you go to work and 8 hours later you have the perfect base to a variety of dessert possibilities!

Time 8h5m

Yield 14 ounces, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, unopened (not evaporated!)
1 gallon water

Steps:

  • Wash and remove the labels from your cans of sweetened condensed milk. Make sure the cans are undented and unopened.
  • Stand your cans up in the slow cooker and pour water in to cover cans fully.
  • Cook on low for at least 8 hours (I've gone up to 12 hours once when I forgot about the cans, results were still good). You could probably do this on high for 4-5 hours but I haven't tried it.
  • Allow to cool fully before opening the can. Store in refrigerator.
  • If you open the can and find that it's not golden enough (highly unlikely), scoop out contents into a saucepan and simmer on low until desired color.
