Food Gifts Dulce de Leche Edition.


We decided that edible gifts are the best small gift to make when you want to gift a lot of people.
This year we had our eyes on these small canning jars, we thought it would look cute with a small gift.

We love dulce de leche, very popular in Brazil that we call doce de leite. It would be something simple to make and not very time consuming.
Using condensed milk, with each can we were able to fill three 4 oz jars. After we filled a bunch of them, we cooked them in our pressure cooker for 35 minutes( following the instructions of the manufacturer).
Then it was just the decorating part.
I bought pieces of fabric at AC Moore to cover the top.

And my husband made a few lables in the computer.
Dulce de leche is a wonderful spread for toasts, cookies or just to eat by the spoon.
This is our 2018 holiday gift for our friends. Hope they all like this treat that we grew up eating.
