Directions:
-
Prep the can: Remove the label and ensure no paper remains.
-
Slow cook: Place the unopened can on its side in the slow cooker. Cover with water by at least 2 inches (to prevent pressure buildup).
-
Cook low & slow: Set to LOW for 8 hours (for deep amber caramel). Need a lighter version? Try 6 hours.
-
Cool completely: Use tongs to remove the very hot can. Let it cool to room temperature before opening (crucial for safety and texture!).
-
Enjoy! Stir to smooth out, then use as desired.
Pro Tips & Variations:
-
Safety first: Never open the can while hot—it can erupt!
-
Flavor boosters: Add a pinch of sea salt or ½ tsp vanilla extract after cooling.
-
Batch prep: Cook multiple cans at once—they store well unopened in the pantry.
-
Fast method? Use a pressure cooker (40 mins, following manufacturer guidelines).
Final Thought:
This caramel is proof that the best things in life are simple—and sometimes come in a can. 😉 Happy drizzling!
