Confiture De Lait or Milk Jam is a French delicacy that translates to milk jam. The recipe is made by slowly cooking full-cream milk with sugar and vanilla until it reduces and caramelizes into a thick, syrupy spread. The addition of pectin helps to set and thicken the spread. Milk Jam is delicious, versatile, and easy to make. It can be enjoyed on toast, scones, bagels, croissants, and even as a topping for cheesecake or ice cream. A jar of Milk Jam also makes a great gift for friends and family.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, combine the milk, 1 kg sugar, and vanilla sugar.
2.	Scrape out the vanilla seeds from the pods, add them to the pot, and toss in the pods as well.
3.	Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low.
4.	Allow the mixture to simmer for 3 hours, stirring every 10 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom so it doesn’t burn.
5.	After 3 hours, remove the vanilla pods and stir in the 1 kg sugar with pectin.
6.	Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.
7.	Remove from heat and allow to cool.
8.	Store in a jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
