A Special Caramel Sauce

I had another remembrance of South Africa the other day when I was looking at a recipe in a magazine.

It was describing how to make a caramel sauce using caramels and condensed milk. I knew there was a much easier, less expensive - and foolproof way - to do it.

In South Africa, condensed milk is a common comodity in every household, and nearly everyone there knows how to caramelize condensed milk:

Just simmer an unopened can of condensed milk in a sauce pan for three hours. Just be sure to keep the can covered with water the entire time - or you just might have a sweet explosion!

When you open the can, a tempting, luscious caramel sauce will burst forth.

Enjoy!
