A long time ago I read somewheres that you can make carmel candy the easy way. Just place a can of sweetened condensed milk, unopened, into a pot of water and boil it for several hours. Take it out, let it cool to the touch, open the can and enjoy fresh carmel candy. Has anybody else heard of this?

O'ya... Yammy. It's good also just as a spread on white bread. My Mom used to make it and we gulped it with tea.
For how long did you have to boil it?

I just did it today. I put an un-opened can of sweetened, condensed milk into a gallon jar of water and put them into my solar oven. They were in there all day. I saw the water boiling. Now I spooned out dollops of delicious caramel onto wax paper to solidify a little. Ohhh, it's delicious candy. Just like I remember from when I was a kid.

You better keep an eye on that solar oven! I want it!!! Especially if you can make candy in it!

ETA I can't believe I misspelled solar! Fat finger syndrome!
