Easy Caramel Sauce

I have been making caramel this way for about 10 years now. I simmer mine for about 3 1/2 hours making sure they are always covered with water and adding more water as needed. You can boil as many cans as you like and keep on hand. I make a cake filling with the caramel and chopped pecans....heavenly.

We used to do this when we were university students, but for years now we have had Nestlé's Caramel Treat in the shops!! Same thing!! I read the recipe and just want GIVE A WARNING: yes, the can should be cooked in boiling water for 2 1/2 - 3 hours BUT, BUT, at all times the can must be covered with water!! If the water boils down and the can gets very exposed, it can explode, as happened to dorm pals of mine!! They left a can boiling while they went to a meeting, and came back to find their room, beds, books and open notes covered with sticky caramel! There were stalactites of caramel dripping from the ceiling! LOL! Just be careful -- but this method does yield a wonderful caramel, which is soft and spreadable and ideal as a cake filling. (Or ... eating from the can!!)

This was OK. I found that you shouldn't leave them up and down or it leaves a 'burned' spot so flip on their sides. I also found that 2 1/2 hours wasn't quite long enough, it left me with almost caramel. I boiled can #2 longer which left me with a pretty good caramel. It does stay VERY soft though.

I have always wanted to try this but was a little worried about the can exploding. After reading all the advice here, I decided to take the plunge and try it. I added the cans to the boiling water and then turned it down to a low simmer for 2 1/2 hours. I then let the cans cool for about an hour and half. The result was a thick, rich caramel sauce that everyone LOVED! Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe! And I really appreciate the reviewer who shared that you can store the unopened cans too.

I have made this for over 20 years. I make every year at Christmas and use the caramel to make Turtle Candy. I simmer for approx. 3 hours being sure to keep covered with water. I turn the stove off and let it set in the pan overnight to cool. It's wonderful!!

I'd never heard of this method before, but Luby's review convinced me to give it a go. It's a thick gooey consistency and we really enjoyed it with Banana Cake Made Simple !! and some cream. It was rich but hey, once in a while is ok!

Super easy and turned out great. Make sure you keep an eye on the water level, as I had to keep adding water every half hour or so. Thanks for posting!

I can't believe I forgot to review this. Made it for Thanksgiving for DS to have with baked sweet potatoes and marshmallows. What a great thing to have in the pantry. Used it in #148535 - So Easy Banana Caramel Cream Pie (No Bake). YUMMY! Thanks for posting, Lori.
