I got pretty excited when I saw this in my recipe book.</p>
<h3>Dulce de leche</h3>
<p>Makes 4-6</p>
<h4>Ingredients</h4>
<ul>
<li>3 cups milk</li>
<li>1/2 cup sugar</li>
<li>2 tablespoons ground almonds</li>
<li>1 cinammon stick</li>
</ul>
<h4>Method</h4>
<ol>
<li>Throw everything into a saucepan, bring to the boil then cook over a medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring constantly</li>
<li>Remove cinammon stick, then serve warm</li>
</ol>
<p>This is supposed to thicken up and go more like caramel, but mine patently didn’t. The reference picture had an almond sitting on top of it – my almond sunk :( I’ll have to check out other recipes to find out why this is so.</p>
<p>It was still very tasty. It wasn’t quite what Sky would have liked, containing no “preservative” (rum), but it seemed to go down well with the company I had around. I put some icecream with mine right near the end, an addition I can highly recommend. You can apparently also drink this cold – I suspect that would work better if it was a bit thicker.</p>
