If you ever have the undistracted time and attention, boil cans of sugared milk - carnation - in water for 4 hours adding water constantly to replace boiloff let the cans cool and you will have the most delicious caramel ever. Cover the pot.
Sweetened condensed milk that is. I blew a can when i was nine by being distracted 20 mins and redecorated the kitchen walls.
A neighbor brazilian mom next door whose husband was a Ferrari mechanic and racer taught me this.
Amazing to see this!
I knew a lady from Venezuela about ten years ago, who taught me this same thing. After the caramel was done, she spread it on baked pie crust, and it was wonderful!
I’ve never tried it, because I was afraid that the cans would explode; but I’m going to try it, on a day when I have time to watch it.
She called it “Wonderfulness!”
Thanks very much :-)

It must be late. Sorry about the PM, TX H - actually meant to post this.
COCONUT MACAROONS
Cut white sandwich bread into squares. Dip each square into the milk mixture, then into shredded coconut. Pop on a waxpaper/silicone pad covered cookie sheet and broil for a few minutes WATCH CLOSELY as they will cook very fast. Remove from oven, cool. Easy coconut macaroons. Compliments of my public education HomeEc instructor in school. Still make them to this day...
vk, who is NOW going to bed.
