Take as many cans as you want of Sweetened and Condensed Milk and take their labels off. Put the unopened cans in a pot (I did 2 cans at a time in a small pot, but you could do a bunch at a time in a larger pot) and cover the cans completely with water. Turn the heat on and wait for the water to boil. Turn the heat down until the water is at a continual simmer. Keep the water simmering for 3 hours (you need to add more water every 20-30 minutes so the cans are always covered with water). Let them cool a bit and then use a can opener and you will see that the Sweetened Condensed Milk has changed to carmel...good carmel.
The site I read said that the woman gives these out to neighbors at Christmas time with a bag of apples. She had a cute label to go along with it. It's an easy thing to do and, as one of my friends pointed out, could be a good science project.

Hey this is your cousin. I have a random question...once it's made does it stay caramel? Or do you have to use it fairly quickly? Do you store it in your fridge? I think I'll try this. I love caramel!
It does stay caramel once it's made, so I think you could store the unopened ones just as you would the sweetened and condensed milk. I have stored the one I opened in my fridge and it's been great. I love it.
Hey, do you have a blog?
I'm thinking about it but no blog yet. I'll let you know when I've finally caved:)
