Ingredients:
2 qt Milk
3 cup Sugar
1/4 tsp Soda
Small piece stick cinnamon
Instructions:
Combine 1 quart of the milk in a saucepan with the sugar, and cook
over a low heat, stirring from time to time, until the mixture turns
golden. Meanwhile, stir the soda into the remaining quart of milk in
a saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick, and bring to a boil. Discard the
cinnamon. Add the hot milk to the caramel mixture very gradually,
stirring constantly. When all the milk in incorporated, place over a
low heat, and cook very slowly until the mixture is thick. Cool
slightly; then pour into a glass serving bowl, and chill.

Variations: Cajeta Envinada (Milk candy with wine): Follow the
directions for Cajeta de Leche, omitting the cinnamon. When it is
just about cooked, stir in 1 cup of sweet sherry, Madeira, or
muscatel, and continue cooking until the wine has been absorbed.

Cajeta de Almendra Envinada (Milk Candy with Wine and Almonds).

Combine with the milk and soda, omit the cinnamon, and bring to a
boil. Then add to the caramel mixture as directed in the recipe for
Cajeta de Leche. When almost cooked, stir in 1 cup of sweet sherry,
Madeira, or muscatel, and continue cooking until the wine has been
absorbed.
