took it out too early it seems, its not even brown, but the color has darkened slightly. it was on the pot for 2+ hours. The taste was markedly different than plain condensed milk, it tasted almost like yema. Thanks for the recipe again MM.

Trying it out now. Crossing my fingers it comes out perfect like yours MM.

Hi MM
I made dulce de leche yesterday, or rather I tried – one can for 3.5 hours and the other for 4 hours – I did let it cool on its own because I thought it might explode :) anyway, what came out was yummy but was a solid block of caramel – not a caramel sauce. Did I cook it too long? or should I have popped the can open right away?

jen, I don’t cover the pot, keep the pot filled with water. jenny, don’t open the can. Although I have to admit I was always fearful it would explode but it hasn’t so far in my experience.

when boiling the condensed milk’s can, am i supposed to cover the pot once the water starts boiling, or better to leave the pan uncovered?
