I use can boiling method to make the caramel. This would be perfect for my "cupcakes spectacular 2008" cupcakes *wink* Just wait and see! I will post this entry soon in My Culina Sanctuarium.
How to make caramel from sweetened condensed milk :
Caramel
source : Chockylit
Ingredients :
1 8 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Direction :
1. Immerse closed can on its side in a pot of boiling water.
2. Leave on a simmer or light boil for 2 hours topping off with water
as needed. Be careful and don’t let the water dry out.
3. Remove from heat and let cool thoroughly before opening can.
Condensed milk should be thick and a nice caramel color. Don’t open
the can while its still hot, I hear that can be very, very messy.

Be sure you boil it at least 3 hours, then after it cools it should have a semi-solid consistency, cut open both ends of the can, and use one end to push it out as a solid mass still on it's side. Put it on a plate, and slice it thin, put some whipped cream, nuts and a cherry on it, serve, and watch the guests try to figure out how you did that one.
Been on my list of great things to eat for the last 65 years.

Crock Pot Method - Unopened can of condensed milk + 8 hours on low (completely submerged in water) in the crock pot + cool down in the fridge = Caramel!

You can also do this in the microwave. It won't be the nice amber color but it will taste the same. HIGH setting, pour it into a very large bowl, and anywhere from 4-7 minutes depending on how thick you want it.
