Title: Carmelizing Sweetened Condensed Milk
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

      1 cn sweetened condensed milk;
           -(not evaporated
           -- milk) (14-oz.)

Instructions

On the stovetop: Pour and scrape the sweetened condensed milk into the top
of double boiler. Place over boiling water on low heat, and simmer
uncovered 1 to 11/2 hours, occasionally stirring and scraping the side and
bottom of the pan (more frequently as it thickens), until the filling is as
thick as pudding and the color of brown sugar or light caramel. (Add
water to the lower pan occasionally, if necessary.) Stir until smooth. Set
aside to cool.

Or, in the microwave oven: Pour and scrape the sweetened condensed milk
into a 2-quart glass measure or deep bowl (the mixture boils up). Cook on
50-percent power (Medium) 4 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Reduce to
30-percent power (Medium-Low), and cook -- stirring briskly and scraping
the side and bottom of the bowl every 2 minutes (careful; the bowl gets
hot) -- for 12 to 18 minutes, until (after stirring) the filling is as
thick as pudding and the color of brown sugar or light caramel. Stir until
smooth. Set aside to cool.
