Ingredients
Method
In large heavy saucepan, bring evaporated milk and 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the milk to boil. In bowl, whisk together remaining milk, cornstarch and baking soda; pour into boiling milk mixture. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally while making caramel.Meanwhile, in large stockpot, stir sugar with 3/4 cup (175 mL) water over medium heat until dissolved, brushing down side of saucepan with brush dipped in cold water. Bring to boil; boil, without stirring but brushing down side of pan often, until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove caramel from heat.
Averting face, slowly pour milk mixture through sieve into caramel; whisk vigorously until caramel is dissolved. Return to heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until dark golden and thick enough to coat back of wooden spoon, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
To remove any lumps, pour through fine sieve into decorative jar or airtight container. Let cool. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 month; rewarm to liquefy.)
