CROCKPOT DULCE DE LECHE

Maybe you're already aware of the glorious trick of making dulce de leche in the slow cooker. If so, we hope you're treating yourself and everyone you know with homemade dulce de leche. If this is news to you, allow us to show you the way. All you need is a can of sweetened condensed milk, a canning jar and water. 

While you can cook the sweetened condensed milk directly in the can, people often complain that this method leaves a metallic taste in the dulce de leche. You're going to want a few glass jars for jam season, so you might as well stock up now and make the best dulce de leche possible. 

All you need to do is pour the sweetened condensed milk into the jar, seal the jar with a tight lid, and submerge the jar in water inside your slow cooker's insert. Make sure the jar is fully submerged in the water to ensure even cooking. Let the slow cooker do its magic, on low, for eight to 10 hours, and prepare yourselves for nirvana, almost.
