The slow cooker allows milk to caramelize to a delicate golden brown with little monitoring. The result is Cajeta, the South American milk caramel sauce also known as dulce de leche. Pour it over fruit or a slice of pound cake, or stir it into vanilla ice cream. Adapted from Country Living magazine. Ingredients:
2 cups goat's milk (if unavailable, use all cow milk) |
2 cups whole milk |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 vanilla bean, seed separated |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Stir well, and cook on high for 10 hours.
2. Stir occasionally the last hour.
3. Strain through a fine strainer and then store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
4. Serve at room temperature. Good over cake, fruit, and ice cream. Enjoy!
