Dulce de Leche

[HCT]

This stuff is soooooooooooo good. I made this with regular milk but this time I had some half and half and a little heavy cream left, so instead of letting it go to waste, I jumped on AB's recipe.

Dulce de Leche
Alton Brown

1 quart whole milk
12 ounces sugar, approximately 1 1/2 cups
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds in a large, 4-quart saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the baking soda and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered at a bare simmer. Stir occasionally, but do not re-incorporate the foam that appears on the top of the mixture. Continue to cook for 1 hour. Remove the vanilla bean after 1 hour and continue to cook until the mixture is a dark caramel color and has reduced to about 1 cup, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to a month.

I also saw this made in the oven on Daisy Cooks but forget her recipe. It was alot easier then AB's.
Anyway, enjoy. :) :)

we can store in refrigerator in a month because they can give a pressure to be fresh and cool.

I don't have a sweet tooth so I had to look this one up. Even not having a sweet tooth, this looks like a must try.

I'm glad this was brought up again.  I"m making a chocolate angel food cake this weekend and I think this will go well with it.
