just found a recipe for this on a french forum and made a chocolate flavoured batch.
EEEK!!! On tasting it I think I had my sugar hit for the next decade!
Needless to say my kids love it and I am sure it will sell well; so if anyone else fancies cooking up a batch of condensed milk in the guise of jam I would be happy to post the recipe!
for 2 325g jars
1 litre full fat; the creamier the better milk
1kg sugar
1 vanilla pod
75g milk chocolate
put the sugar, milk and split vanilla pod into a large pan; bring to the boil and then simmer
after about an hour take out the vanilla pod (the mix will be light caramel)
continue to boil for around 30-45 mins more until setting point is reached; ie thick and ripply when placed on a cool plate.
At this point chuck in the chocolate and stir well until melted and mixed in thoroughly:
jar up
(the chocolate can be omitted for those who feel this may be a sugar step too far!!!)
Dear Shelly
Please could you or anyone give me any tips for making the preserve I bought in Brittany last year?
It was a caramel/salt and Butter sort of spread, very yummy. salt was called Fleur de Sel
Not at all sickly ( to my mind) Nor tasting of chocolate as above.
Was quite expensive for a small specialised pot of it and have longed to find a recipe for it for a few years now.
Googled for it and neer had any luck.
Warm regards from Pam
Try this - without the lavender - was this the sort of thing?
NB - Corn syrup is a US version of Golden syrup so far as I can gather, get the impression the US version is rather more fake than ours though.
If you try this recipe let us know - I'm intrigued by it I must admit.
It has a link from the page I pointed you to but they had adapted that recipe with the salt etc so figured it was best to send you there and let you see all of it. If that makes sense!
Hi Pam
That is a shame. Do you think it's worth experimenting from the base recipe we have - what would you say were the defining characteristics - more buttery or more caramely/sugary? I'm sure we could make some nice concoctions on the way!
