Caramel sauce from condensed milk
Hey, so making a birthday cake tomorrow and bought some Carnation Condensed Milk in order to make caramel.
As this process can take 2 1/2 hours and then cooling time, is there anyway I can boil it tonight, allow it to cool and then use it in the morning, or would it solidify? |

If you keep it in the tin it will stay moist. You can do it much quicker by boiling the condensed milk in a pan for about 5 mins if you are stretched for time. Just make sure the hob isn't too ot and stir all the time.

Thanks strictmachine. Do you get the same colour / consistency when boiling straight on the hob?

Yes, absolutely. Just keep an eye on it because it thickens quite suddenly. I have only done it in a non stick pan and wouldn't necessarily advise you to do it that way if your pans aren't non stick.

Thanks for the advice guys. I heated it straight on the hob with a little butter and sugar. Turned out just fine, and in under 10 mins.

Thanks Hackney, I already looked for this in Tesco though, and was nowhere to be seen.
