How to Make Manjar

Some of my favorite Chilean foods use manjar, also known as dulce de leche. I recently heard from Natalie who asks:

Do you know how to make manjar?

Manjar is made from sweetened condensed milk. Even though I haven’t made it personally, it seems pretty straight forward. Once I discovered that manjar was dulce de leche, it was easy to find some recipes. You may want to try one of these:

    Hello
    Remove the label from the can of condensed milk. Do not under any circumstances open the can yet. Take the can and stick it in a pot. Cover it with water. Put the pot on a stove and turn up the heat. Let the pot and can simmer gently for about one and a half to two hours for runny dulce de leche, or up to four hours for solid dulce de leche. Add more water, as necessary, when the level boils down too much.
    BUT
    let the pot be a pressure coocker !
    that’s all
    2 hours and ready.. as many cans as you can put !
    pancakes with manjar are the best !
    take care you guy from Pedro de Valdivia with Pocuro !
