     Title: Dulce De Leche
Categories: Five, Dairy, Candy
     Yield: 1 1/2 cups

     4 c  (1 l) whole milk
     1 c  (200 g) white sugar
   1/2 ts Baking soda
     3 tb Heavy cream
          Vanilla drops
       pn Salt (opt)

 Heat the milk and cream over medium heat in a large
 saucepan with high sides and double or triple bottom.

 Add the sugar when it's warm and mix.

 Add the baking soda and stir until it dissolves.

 When it starts to boil, lower the heat to a minimum
 but keep it simmering.

 At this point is where you can add a plate upside down,
 glass marbles, or some other small glass object that can
 withstand the heat. What they do is move around so it
 `stirs' the mixture and also helps with crystallization.

 Let it reduce, stirring every so often, about an hour,
 or an hour and a half. This depends on the amount of
 milk you're using and the amount of heat.

 It darkens from the bicarbonate and thickens. If you
 added a plate you can stir once in a while, but it not,
 you should stir more often.

 At some point, usually an hour from the moment it starts
 to simmer, it gets quite dark and thickens. At this
 point, it's almost ready. Maybe a few minutes more. Make
 sure you take out the plate and stir constantly during
 these last moments.

 If you put a little on a plate it will run immediately,
 be quite liquid. It will thicken a lot as it cools and
 even more in the refrigerator.

 Remove from the heat, add vanilla and salt if using,
 transfer to a bowl and let cool. If you stir over a
 bowl with ice water it will cool faster and generally
 makes it creamier because there's a smaller chance of
 crystallization.

 Whisk at the end before refrigerating to make it as
 creamy as possible.

 Fill a jar and keep refrigerated.
