"Ahh sweet caramel." Or should I be saying "aahhh sweet corn syrup"? I have yet to find anything made with caramel to be free of salicylates. Imagine my joy in finding an extremely simple home made recipe. It can be used on ice cream (Breyers is sal free). It also is great on pears. We personally use it in oatmeal chocolate bars, Chris's current favorite. Yes, I will post that recipe later. :)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Fill double boiler up with water, just enough so it touches the top pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk in top pan. Bring water to a very soft boil on medium heat and immediately turn to simmer. Leave for 1 hour to an 1 1/2 hours stirring about every 20 min.
(If you do not have a double boiler you can simply place the can in a large pot of water. It must be immersed completely at all times. Boil gently for 4 hours. Remove from stove and let water and can cool down for 1 hour. Remove from water and let cool 1 hour. You may now open the can! YUM! I personally like the double boiler simply because it is faster and I find it easier. The can is a slight risk because yes, they can explode. Just make sure it is always covered with water and keep filling up the pan with more as needed and it will be fine.)
