Serves 8

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup water

In a medium sauce pan, heat evaporated milk, milk and baking soda to boiling; remove from heat.

Heat brown sugar and water a large pot over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Add milk mixture. Cook uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is very thick and golden brown, about 1 hour. Pour into bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
