Wanna show off this holiday season?! Of course you do! Look like you worked in the kitchen all day juggling a candy thermometer --- but really it just takes a few minutes of prep. This is the easiest recipe I have tried to make for amazing homemade carmel sauce. It would be great on ice cream, in holiday cocktails, drizzled over popcorn, or dipping sauce for fall apples! You only need one ingredient, a crockpot, and a few awesome jars.
Things to collect:
-Crockpot
-Jelly jars or other mason jars
-A few cans of sweetened condensed milk
It doesn't matter what brand you use for any of the items, however, I tried a low fat milk... Not good!
After you gather your supplies, just transfer the condensed milk into jars of your choosing. I used small widemouthed 4 oz Ball jars. As long as you have tops, it's up to you! Jelly jars work great too! After pouring sweetened condensed milk into the jars, not quite to the top, place lids.
Place jars in crockpot water bath. This is easy peasy! Just add water an inch or so above top of jars. Cook your carmel for 6-7.5 hours on low. Always keep water above lids-- this helps seal the jars. The liquid will begin to turn from a creamy color that is runny to a deeper color that is thick.
Check one of the jars to make sure it has reached perfection! It may be slightly chunky- that's OK! Just stir before serving. These make great gifts when packaged thoughtfully. SO freakin' good! And easy. I mean hard. Very very hard. Slave all day hard. I'm so worn out, I may need a scoop of ice cream topped with carmel sauce ;-)
Store in fridge and binge! Happy Holidays!
