Directions

  1. 1Put sugar and whole milk in a saucepan.
  2. 2Mix together with a spatula until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. 3Put on gentle low heat and let it come to a gentle simmer.
  4. 4Simmer for 35 to 45 minutes until it dissolves down into condensed milk, stirring pretty often so it doesn't scorch to the bottom.
  5. 5Once your milk has simmered down, it should be completely smooth.
  6. 6Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a half-pint jar, which should yield about one cup.
  7. 7To store, put a lid on the jar and turn it upside down to let it cool off; it should seal within 24 hours.
  8. 8Store in the fridge for up to one week before use.
