Dulce de Leche

• Recipe by Sue Torres

Ingredients

1. 1 quart whole milk
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 1 tablespoon dark corn syrup
4. 1/2 small cinnamon stick

Directions

1. In a large, heavy pot, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat and simmer over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is reduced to 2 cups and is the consistency of warm caramel, about 40 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick. Let cool, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Skim off the foam and transfer to a pitcher.

Make Ahead

The dulce de leche can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
