Sweetened condensed milk reminds me of the holidays -- and pumpkin pie -- which means I only ever have it on hand around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fast forward to last weekend when I needed a small bit of it for a recipe I was making -- and there was not a single can of sweetened condensed milk to be found in our pantry. I wondered if perhaps I could make my own sweetened condensed milk from scratch with the ingredients I did have on hand. Lo and behold, the Internet answered my question with an easy-to-follow and super-quick recipe for sweetened condensed milk made from scratch. Oh, the wonders of the Google search!
Truth be told, this stuff is kind of yummy on its own, and I might have snuck one (okay several) spoonfuls. (I mean, it's not like I had to scrape every last bit into the container...) Coming tomorrow, a ridiculously-delicious recipe that uses some of this made-from-scratch sweetened condensed milk. Trust me, you'll want to come back to check it out.
