Rip the label off the can of sweetened condensed milk.

Put the can in a pot.

Fill the pot with water, ensuring the water level is at least 1 inch above the can.

Put the pot on the stove and turn on the heat.

Bring the water to a boil, then turn it down to medium heat.

Boil the can for another 1 to 2 hours.

Add water as needed to keep the water level above the can to prevent it from bursting.

Turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove.

Pour out the water and set it aside to cool.

To speed up the cooling process, use tongs to remove the hot can and submerge it in cold water.

Wait for the can to cool completely before opening it to avoid eruption.

Once cooled, open the can and scoop the dulce de leche into a mason jar or airtight container.
