Quickie...

So, I preach a lot about doing everything homemade, but sometimes post recipes that are quick and easy. I know how life can get busy. Anyway, here's quick one I happened to try a while back. If you have ever made candy, caramel, fudge, etc, you know it can be a real pain. For a quick caramel fix (not that quick, but easy actually), try this: sweetened condensed milk caramel. Just take a can of sw con milk, and put it in a big pot of boiling water for 3 1/2 hours (remove paper if you can). Make sure to check the water level occasionally, can needs to be submerged at all times. remove and let cool. Here's a pic:

 
Ok, so it may not be the best pic, and this is really just a fun fact post, but it does work.

Buon Appetito!
