Making Caramel in the Microwave

Making caramel in the microwave is quite easy, here's how you do it:

Pour a 395g can of condensed milk into a 2-litre (8 cup) heatproof, microwave-safe jug (the condensed milk will become very hot so it's best to use a container that has a handle).

Cook, uncovered, on High/800watts/100% in 1 minute bursts, whisking gently every minute until the condensed milk becomes thick and caramel in colour. This will take from 6 - 10 minutes, depending upon the wattage of your microwave.
