Ingredients
  • 1can condensed milk
  • jar (I used several smaller 8oz ones) Canning
Instructions
  1. Start heating up your sous vide bath to 185F/85C.
  2. Wash and dry your canning jars. Since you’re making quite a bit of dulce de leche and storing it for months, you’re going to want to make sure things are clean 🙂
  3. Open the can of condensed milk and carefully pour into the canning jars, leaving about a 1/2″ at the top. If you spill any on the lip, take the time to clean it off now when it’ll be easier than when it’s completely caramelized. It’s also OK if you don’t’ completely fill a jar (like I did) since I didn’t buy enough condensed milk to fully fill 3 jars 🙂
  4. Carefully put the jars into the sous vide bath. Even though there is air in the jars, it should be heavy enough to not need to be weighed down.
  5. Pull them out after 15 hours, and you’ll see a deep delicious caramel color.
  6. Let them cool, and you can store them in your fridge for up to 3 months.
