Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I am constantly in awe of my friend Jennie's (she of Straight from the Farm fame) level of food creativity. She is constantly coming up with delicious new recipes, doing things like making cheese (people keep telling me that cheesemaking is easy, but I've yet to give a whirl) and making cranberries dance and sing (well, not literally). But I do believe that she has outdone herself this time with these jars of homemade dulce de leche. It actually appears to be pretty easy to make and if you're looking for a last-minute homemade holiday gift, this might be your answer.

There's an off-chance the can may explode if it gets too hot and the contents boil.

By the way, if this had been made with goat's milk (or a mix of goat and cow milk) it would be known in Mexico and a few other countries as Cajeta.
Some people use the word interchangeably, which is fine with the majority...except for Argentina and Uruguay; where the word cajeta is insulting.
I've also heard it being called Manjar by Chilean friends that would use it in between the layers of cakes...
No matter what you call it, it's delicious on everything!

Not sure what it is in the picture that's making folks think that it is, but I can assure you that it is superbly creamy and *smooth*! Perhaps you are seeing the vanilla bean specks? In any case, this is so much better than the boiled can of condensed milk version (I have made it that way as well) and highly addictive. :-)

Really liked it! BTW definitely not grainy at all in person. It is as smooth as pudding!
