I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Dulce de Leche

Super easy to make and so good.  I love it on ice cream, cheesecake, to dip apples in and on and on. 

The shorter cooking times will produces a light colored caramel, while the longer time produces a darker richer caramel.
