Make from scratch with milk and sugar. Magnificent.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 jars Bonne Maman (2 pounds)

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 liters of milk (preferably whole, but I have made it with 2% too)
  • 500 grams of granulated sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick around 2″ (4 cm.) long

Instructions

  1. Place the ingredients in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring until it boils. Remember that milk tends to foam a lot.

  2. Keep it boiling to reduce, and occasionally stir for the first hour. When it begins to thicken, stir more, it is better if you stir all the time.

  3. After about 1 1/2 – 2 hours, I will start taking a caramel color. Take a teaspoon full, let cool, and try.

  4. Cook until the desired thickness. Let it cool a little before saving it in jars. Keep refrigerated. It lasts two months.
