Place the can on its side in a large pot, \u00a0or Dutch oven<\/a><\/strong>. If you place it right-side up, the simmering water will cause the can to bounce as it cooks. \u00a0Add room temperature water, filling the pot until the water level rises at least two inches above the top of the can. It’s very important that the can is completely submerged. Ideally, the water level should never get any lower than one inch above the can as it cooks, so make sure to check on the water level every half hour and be ready to add more boiling water as needed.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image 2″ src=”https:\/\/cheerykitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Homemade-Dulce-de-leche-17-17.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”right” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” alt=”Homemade Dulce de Leche” use_overlay=”off” title_text=”Homemade Dulce de Leche | cheerykitchen.com”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_letter_spacing=”1px”] Place the pot over high heat and allow it to come to a simmer. Simmer the can for two to three hours, depending on how dark you want the dulce de leche to be. \u00a0When the time is up, carefully remove the can from the hot water using a pair of tongs<\/a><\/strong>, and allow it to cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Do not attempt to open the can while it’s still hot, as the hot dulce de leche may spit out because of the pressure inside the can.<\/strong> The dulce de leche will firm up as it cools, but once out of the can, it can easily be reheated in a double boiler to a spreadable or drizzle-able consistency.
