Dulce De Leche

Directions

1. 1
   Place the evaporated milk and the condensed milk in your heaviest pot.
2. 2
   Add the cinnamon sticks, baking soda and a pinch of salt.
3. 3
   Stir steadily with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
4. 4
   Adjust the temperature so that the mixture stays just barely at a simmer.
5. 5
   Continue to stir until the mixture is making large bubbles, is very thick, and is a golden caramel color.
6. 6
   It's very important to stir constantly at this point to prevent burning.
7. 7
   Lift the spoon out of the pot and drizzle some of the caramel sauce over the surface.
8. 8
   If it forms a ribbon that does not disappear after 10 seconds or so, it is ready.
9. 9
   Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
10. 10
    Remove cinnamon sticks and stir in the vanilla and the corn syrup.
11. 11
