Ingredients

Instructions

  • Remove labels from cans.
  • Place them in a big pot right-side up or on or their sides. 
  • Cover cans with water so they are completely submerged.
  • Bring water to a boil over medium high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to Low and cook for 3 hours (if you want it to be thick and a dark caramel color) or cook for 2 hours and 15 minutes (if you want a lighter color).
    Note: Keep a close eye on the amount of water. The cans need to be completely submerged. Add more water, as it evaporates during cooking. 
  • Then, carefully remove cans from water, using a pair of tongs and allow them to cool down completely. 
  • Open cans and enjoy!
