This whole process takes about 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or jar to cool.

• Wash the nail and pound it into the top of can of sweetened condensed milk to make 2 small holes on opposite sides of the top. Remove nail.
• Place the can of condensed milk into a small saucepan and pour in water to reach high up the side of the can. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer milk in the can for 3 to 4 hours.

DIY DULCE DE LECHE

Steps:

• Place a can of sweetened condensed milk (with the label removed) on its side in the bottom of a stockpot filled with water. Gently boil 2 hours, replenishing the water as necessary to keep the pot full and the can submerged. (This prevents it from bursting.) Using tongs, transfer the can to a wire rack and let cool completely before opening. Drizzle the caramel over ice cream, or use it as a filling for sandwich cookies. (Leftover dulce de leche can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container and rewarmed in a double boiler or microwave.)
