Dulce De Leche In Crock Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Place vanilla bean, 3 cups of milk, sugar, water and baking soda in slow cooker.
• Whisk together.
• Cook for 9 hours on HIGH, uncovered.
• Remove vanilla bean and whisk milk mixture gently.
• Use a dull-edged knife to carefully scrape down the crust of sugar that accumulates on sides of the insert.
• Do not skim foam.
• Continue cooking for 1 more hour, stirring every 20 minutes until mixture is a rich medium-caramel color and has thickened to the consistency of melted ice cream.
• In the mean time, warm remaining cup of milk in small saucepan.
• Turn off slow cooker and stir in the warm milk.
• Remove the inset and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Scrape into bowl and let come to room temperature.
• Refrigerate it in tightly covered container for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Remove the label from the cans of sweetened condensed milk.
• Place the cans on their side inside the crock pot.
• Fill the crock pot with water so that there is at least an inch of water covering the top of the cans. Make sure that there is always enough water completely covering the cans.
• Set the crock pot on low and cook the cans in water for 8 hours.
• When cooking is complete let the cans COOL until they are room temperature. DO NOT OPEN the cans when they are hot, because there is the potential chance for explosion.
• Warning: make sure your cans are not dented or damaged in anyway. Using a damaged can could lead to problems when cooking.
• What I love about this recipe is that you can start it before you go to work and 8 hours later you have the perfect base to a variety of dessert possibilities!

Steps:

• 1. BEFORE BED: Fill your jars with the Sweet Condensed Milk. (hopefully I gave the correct number of jars to use). Put the lids on and do not over tighten the lids. This is not home canning. You will need to refrigerate if you have any left over. (the lids will be one flat topper with the rim to screw it on, just don't over twist).
• 2. Add the filled jars to your crock pot. Then cover with water. You want an inch or so of water over the tops. Turn on low, and go to bed. I went 12 hours or more in crock pot. (actually I wasn't in the crock pot, the filled jars are the victims here.)
• 3. The sweet condensed milk will turn brown. You may not think that it has turned that much, until you open the jars the next morning and stir.
• 4. OPTIONAL: Cubes of Angel Food Cake, strawberries, apple pieces, marshmallows, anything you can think of to dip into the warm sauce. Ice cream topping. (hiding somewhere with a spoon and just eating it.)
• 5. This is so much better than the one where people use a pressure cooker. I suspect that maybe people open the pressure cooker before the steam has been released and end up burning themselves badly. So it was never an option for me, though the Sweet Potato Queen does it. Plus a PLUS, is without submerging a can of sweet condensed milk in water and on top of a saucer to not rust your crock pot, the canning jars you won't have to worry about rust. No rust on a can to worry about. No rust in your crock pot. I think its funny that on a can of sweet condensed milk is a caution to not heat in the can. They are on to people doing it. Plus people getting HURT. So this way is safe. Tested. And it does work.
