Servings: 1 cup / 15 oz (approx.)
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a medium sized, heavy bottomed saucepan, combine milk and sugar. Place your saucepan over low heat, and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
- Turn the heat up to medium-low, and bring the mixture to a very light simmer. Simmer your milk/sugar mix low and slow for 45 minutes to 1 hour. As it simmers, go in occasionally to skim off any bubbles or skin that forms on the top of the milk and to stir to keep the bottom from burning. *Don't mix in the impurities on the surface or it'll cause your condensed milk to be grainy!*
- Cook until the condensed milk thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. It should also be creamy and a light golden brown color. It will be much looser than canned condensed milk while it's still hot, but it will thicken as it sits and cools.
- Transfer the condensed milk to a medium sized jar or bowl and cool completely before using. Seal, and keep in your fridge for up to 2 months, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
