Okay so I tried the caramel in the can according to the thread on here. When I opened my can, it looked like it was begining to burn on the bottom. The top layer was a lil darker in color than condensed milk. The middle wa light brown. The bottom was more the color of caramel but hard and nasty (I tasted it). Any ideas what went wrong?
Did I have my burner too high? It also left a brown ring on the bottom of my pot.
Yes, it sounds like you might have had the burner on too high. Next time try turning it down a little or turning the can upside down every half an hour or so. Hope this helps 
Arghhh! I just slightly burned another can. This time I put it into a sauce pan and heated it on the stove. I put it on the lowest setting. I've never used a double boiler. Do yall think that would work better? Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Hmmm....just a thought....but when I made mine....I put in four cans ALL ON THEIR SIDES and I rolled them every 20 minutes (when I added more water). I boiled for 3 hours...but will probably got for 4 hours next time to make it firmer.
Hope that helps

I think I actually did this years ago in the oven. I think the recipe was from cooking.com under dolce con leche. It was great and so easy. Blue Bell make an icecream called that too--yummy!
