Dulce de leche is an amazing milky sweet caramel spread - it's perfect on bread or brioche, and nothing beats a spoonful of dulce de leche right out of the jar ! You could also use dulce de leche in or on ice cream. Dulce de leche is really easy to make : you will need a can of sweetened condensed milk... and some patience ! You will understand why if you keep reading :)

How to make dulce de leche :

Put the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan filled with water. Make sure the water comes up to an inch or two above the can !
Set the saucepan on medium-high heat to simmer for 2 hours, checking every 30 minutes to make sure the can of sweetened condensed milk is still covered in water. If it's not or if water has evaporated, add water.
After 2 hours, turn the heat off and leave the can in the hot water for another 30 minutes.
Using tongs, take the can of sweetened condensed milk (now delicious dulce de leche) out of the water, and let it cool down completely before opening it !
Once the dulce de leche has cooled down, open the can and transfer the dulce de leche to a jar or airtight container, and keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Homemade peanut butter is the easiest thing to do ! This recipe has no added sugar, no added oil, just one ingredient : peanuts !

To make the peanut butter you see in the pictures, I did use two types of peanuts : unsalted and salted peanuts, in the same amount (200 grams of each). I've made peanut butter before using only unsalted peanuts - you can use any type of peanut you want, it's up to you ! The directions of the recipe will be the same for all peanuts : just blend, blend, blend ! :)


How to make peanut butter :

Blend the peanuts.

It's that simple ! Just blend the peanuts in a food processor until you get peanut butter. At first it'll look like peanut crumbs (see photo below), but just keep blending : the peanut butter will come together.
