CARAMEL SAUCE

Ingredients:

*2 ( ounce) cans of sweetened condensed milk

*3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

~Pour sweetened condensed milk into hot sterilized canning jars leaving a 1/2-inch head space.

~Pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla into each jar and stir until mixed.

~Wipe tops of jar from any residue.  

~Place a hot lid on jar.

~Put ring on, tighten finger tight. 

~Place in slow cooker (I put a tea towel in the bottom of my slow cooker so the jars don't touch the bottom).

~Pour hot water in covering the jars, submerging them by 2 inches.

~Place lid on and turn on low.

~Cook for 8 hours.

~Remove from slow cooker and place on a towel on the counter top.
