I make it like this for Banoffee pie & to put on ice cream & apple pie

Bring a pot of water to boil then immerse a can of sweetened condensed milk.

Simmer the can for 2 hours, adding extra water as needed so that the can is always covered in water.

When the time is up, remove the can and let it cool before you open it up, lest hot caramel splatter attacks

Carnation do it ready done now in a tin, no need to bugger about boiling.

I'm not the only one then? Try it poured over a bowl of ice cream... Omnomnom!

Or do it properly.

Sugar with a couple of tablespoons of water in a pan. Cook without siring until the sugar has boiled and reached 180 centigrade. Dunk the bottom of the pan in a bowl of cold water to stop it cooking. When the temperature is back down to just under 100 add a little double cream and beat thoroughly until you have the desired consistency. If you add a shot of your favourite spirit at this stage it will help prevent the caramel from setting(as well as tasting fabulous).

15-20 mins and it will taste far better than anything that ever came out of a tin.
