An old camp dodge is to punch a few holes in that can with a church key, throw it on the fire until the packing gelatin melts and can be poured off. Replace the gelatin with the liquid of your choice, return the can to the fire until everything is heated through.
The original suggestion for this used Italian salad dressing, which can be surprisingly good if the dressing is good. Other choices include stout, wine, BBQ sauce, etc.
