Sam writes: “They make a great topping poured over bread pudding, too.”
Judy writes: “Been doing it this way forever. My crock is big enough to hold 6 of the 8 oz jelly jars. You can also freeze the sauce should you happen to have any leftover….”
Donna writes: “You can also just put the can in boiling water for two hours and have the same thing. I learned it from another chef when catering.”
Sarah writes: “I’ve made it on the stove before. Just put whole cans of sweetened condensed milk in a large pan, cover with water, & simmer for 3 hours. The crockpot option is more set it & forget it because you don’t need to check it or worry about having something on the stove for so long.”
Chere writes: “Soooo good. I did this at Christmas for gifts but did it on stove top”

Heidi, am so glad i found a Dulche De Leche recipe that uses the fabulous crockpot and at the same time does not use the tin to cook the condensed milk in.
Am so trying it out over the weekend.
Thanks so very much ☺
