Can you make caramel by boiling evaporated milk?!
Answers: I have a can of evap. milk and was wondering if i could boil it to make caramel, if so, how long should it boil?
Probably not, but you can make something close to dulce la leche by heating sweetened condensed milk in a water bath until its color darkens and it thickens. Caramel is usually a combination of sugar, butter and cream.
No.
Caramel is made from boiling sugar and water into a simple syrup. Then you can add warm cream. (not sure about evaporated milk.)
Hope this helps. :)
That's an old recipe, you put the can in the oven unopened and it carmelizes. They say the can can blow up but usually not. Some warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(at least remove the label and set it on a cookie sheet)
Not to make caramel. I know you can use sweetened condensed milk for caramel. But, you can make a caramel sauce with evaporated milk.
Caramel Sauce
2 cups sugar
? cup water
1 (13-ounce) can evaporated milk
? cup (1 stick) butter, softened, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Combine sugar and water in medium saucepan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil, without stirring, 10 to 14 minutes, tilting pan occasionally to keep color even until mixture turns a deep caramel color. Remove from heat.
2. Stir in evaporated milk (mixture will foam up); do not scrape sides of pan. One tablespoon at a time, add ? cup butter, stirring well after each addition. Stir in remaining butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Serve over bread pudding, ice cream, cake, or fruit.

Pour in remaining milk. Heat, without stirring, to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. Pour into prepared pan.
