Today we will make dulce de leche or cajeta or candy / milk jam or all of these together. Besides, in this case the name is immaterial. What matters is the incomparable taste of the irresistible aroma, velvety texture ... I could eat an entire jar only with spoon or just dipping my finger! But not this time because I promised that I will make ice cream (... will follow!). Well, maybe just a little bit to see if I succeeded (the classic excuse principle of food preservation of a chef).
No, look in the closet, but in the fridge. principle of food preservation You will not need sweetened but fresh milk. Cow or goat, better the second. We will need and sugar and maybe a tiny bit of fresh vanilla or cinnamon, though of course we like. I have already explained here and here how we can make dulce de leche boiling sweetened. The comment, however, a friend of how safe is it to boil candy into the metal can for hours, got me thinking and psachtika little longer. The truth is that there are serious concerns about the presence of the compound BPA (bisphenol-A) in the internal protective coating of cans. This substance appears to affect the contents principle of food preservation of the can, even without that warm!
To avoid tiring the above, here is an alternative method principle of food preservation to the build that is almost as simple to boil water and certainly more secure. Okay, to be honest you will need to stir now and then and have our minds and not to stray far from the kitchen for about an hour and not let our eyes in the last half hour but when you see the milk transformed into a thick caramel and our kitchen will smell divine, we are sure it was worth it.

3. As the mixture begins to thicken principle of food preservation and darken, stir increasingly frequently (every 5 minutes), to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pot. When getting dark caramel color and become principle of food preservation thick texture (almost density sweetened milk), remove from heat. To make sure that it is ready, put 1 tsp candy in a saucer we arrange to put earlier in the freezer. Put the saucer again in the freezer for a minute and check the density of candy. If you have moderate density is ready, if it is too sparse continue principle of food preservation to cook, while if it is too stiff, principle of food preservation add a little hot water to the pot (1 tablespoon at a time) until you obtain the desired density.
