Converting evaporated milk to condensed milk.

lilibeth

How much sugar do I need to add to one 410grm can of evaporated milk to convert it to condensed milk please? Do I just chuck it all in a saucepan and boil it? Anything else I need to add?
Thanks I can't see it in the old style recipe lists.

The ratio is one-and-a-quarter cups of sugar to every cup of evaporated milk. Heat GENTLY until sugar has dissolved completely and allow to cool.

Wow - thank you both for asking and answering this question - I never knew you could do that. If you know how long it keeps that would be good to know.

Ooh - you've just made me remember something happy - thank you - we used to have condensed milk sandwiches at my Nan's house for tea - sounds disgusting & I don't think I could eat it now but it was just yummy then! :T

Thanks guys. Very much appreciated
@ tracyk Also how do you do the sandwich thing? Don't they go soggy?

Condensed milk on thick slices of toast was one of my Mum's better ways of filling her hungry kids up during rationing. A tin of condensed milk was treated like gold dust in our house.By the time it was finished you could see your face in the empty tin, as not a trace was left. It has a taste all of its own.
