homemade caramel sauce made from sweetened condensed milk in your crockpot! A truly simple and easy caramel sauce recipe made with just ONE ingredient, AKA dulce de leche…
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 8 hours
TOTAL TIME: 8 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 (14-oz.) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 5 (8-oz.) jelly jars
- water
instructions
- Fill each jelly jar up to the 6-oz. line with the sweetened condensed milk. Three cans of sweetened condensed milk should fill about 5 jars. Place a lid on each jar and tighten the band down well.
- Place the jars inside the slow cooker and pour water in to about 1″ above the top of the jars.
- Cover and cook on low for 7.5-8 hours, checking occasionally to see if more water needs to be added. Do not let the water drop below the lid level.
- Carefully remove the jars from the slow cooker and enjoy! The caramel may be a tad chunky and is perfectly delicious as is, but if you prefer a creamier caramel, simple whisk it until it’s silky smooth.
- Store in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature or heat until warm before serving.
