Crockpot Caramel

This is great in a prebaked pie shell, ice cream topper or straight off the spoon!

Ingredients:

  • 2 unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

Put unopened cans (my crock pot will hold two). Pour water until just covered. Put on lid. Set to low for 8 hours. Remove and place cans in refrigerator a few hours.

Easy Caramel Sauce

It is a very easy caramel sauce to make, to top gingerbread apple cakes, bread pudding and homemade rice puddings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large pkg. Butterscotch Pudding and Pie Filling Mix (stove top variety)
  • 2 cups water (do not use milk)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Directions:

Cook pudding according to directions, but omit the three cups milk it calls for, and replace with the two cups water instead. Keep stirring till mixture bubbles.

I have posted this once before but the easiest way to make caramel sauce (and I have never had it sugar) is to put an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a crock pot and completely cover with water during the whole time it is in there. Cook on low for 8 hours. Perfect caramel sauce every time!
