Who makes condensed milk?

hi guys
anybody know of anyone that makes condensed milk apart from nestle?

Fussell's (I think that's the spelling lol) make it - it's in a blue and white tin and I think there's a blue butterfly on the label. My local Tesco also sell a middle eastern brand, I can't remember the name but it comes in a green tin in either plain or cardamom flavour.

Actually I don't think you can buy Fussells any more. Both Fussells and Nestle are now sold as Carnation, skimmed and full cream respectively.

I also try and boycott Nestle and have just looked up their product list and Fussells is owned by them too!

This is also another way of making your own condensed milk. You may have to convert if you're not use to cups. But any mug would be fine.

To make the equivilant of a tin of condensed milk:

1 cup powdered milk - this can be full cream or skim milk
1/3 cup water
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter

Put all your ingredients into a food processor or blender. Mix slowly at first until everything is combined, then use high speed until everything is smooth.
