    I was nine stone before I discovered this.

    My sons love milk jelly.

    You make the jelly as normal with 1 pint of water. As it starts to cool, stir in the can of milk and leave to set in fridge.

    James Martin used it on his show to make caramel banana shortbread http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/caramelbananashortbr_85999.shtml

    Noooo!!! :eek: Don't make me want this, I havn't had it for years and you're right, it's amazing!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Does everyone have a random tin of condensed milk lurking in the back of the fridge? I can't remember how I ended up with mine...

    *trots off to the kitchen to check there is enough butter to make the fudgy stuff*

    Continuing the Scottish & bad for you theme, try this ...

    ISLE OF ISLAY CREAM

    "Winemaker" Magazine, p.129, March 1982

    INGREDIENTS

    14 fl. oz. (400 g) tin of condensed milk

    8 fl. oz. of Scotch whisky

    7 fl. oz. (250 ml) carton of UHT long-life single cream

    6 fl. oz. (170 g) tin of evaporated milk (eg. "Ideal")

    6 - 8 teaspoons of coffee essence (eg. "Camp")

    (None of the amounts are critical, and the sizes of the tins and cartons have changed and/or been metricated since the recipe was originally published.)

    METHOD

    Pour all the ingredients into a 2 pint (1 litre) jug or bowl. Use the whisky to wash out all of the thicker ingredients from their containers. Mix. Pour. Drink.

    (I don't know how long this will keep for: it has never stayed around long enough to go off!)
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    Sounds fab.

    I'm off to check my larder....

    PS if you mix a teaspoon of coffee granules with water, it is the same as essence.

    I know, I used to pour this on vanilla ice cream, (then whip it to a frenzy so it went creamy) when I was a teenager and home from school, bored, before the Parents. It was lovely.

    AND....I always cleaned my teeth afterwards :)
