Some one had a faster method to make caramel from Eagle Brand Sweetened condensed Milk. I remembe recently something about taking just 10 minutes on the stove top , instead of the heating on the stove for a couple of hrs. Anyone have that information???
Thanks! 
I do it in the microwave in a big pyrex measuring thing. Just nuke briefly and stir, repeat as desired. I usually use about 50% power after the first couple minutes.
if you do it on the stove you basically just cook it stirring constantly so it doesn't burn until it's the color/thickness you're after. When I do it in the microwave it ALWAYS boils up and out of any container even HUGE ones and makes a horrible mess...so I stopped nuking it!
I did it on the stove the other day, low heat, but it took about an hour with lots of stirring. I've read you can do it in the crock pot but that's probably an all day thing too...

Me too. But you do have to keep a close eye on it and stir frequently or else it will boil over. Still less time than boiling in the can......and safer.
Best caramel EVER!
Thick Caramel Sauce
1 cup butter (do not substitute)
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
In a heavy saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring. Carefully stir in whipping cream. Attach a candy thermometer to your pan. Continue to stir until the caramel reaches 238 degrees, or the soft ball stage. Be careful to keep it just hot enough for caramel to simmer, because it will scorch! Remove from heat and add vanilla and salt. Makes 4 cups.
This is wickedly good! I've used it as a filling for cakes, to ice cupcakes and to dip apples in. Of course, there's nothing wrong with eating it with a spoon!
