Opened sweetened condensed milk by mistake. Help with a recipe.

16 years ago

Had another senior moment. Started making a pumpkin pie and thought I was opening a can of evaporated milk but it was sweetened condensed milk instead. Any recipe ideas for this besides candy.

This is sooo versatile, can be used many many ways.
Bourbon sauce ----can use rum as well
1/2 cup buttter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 6 oz can condensed milk
1 large egg
3 Tbl bourbon

Beat butter at med speed with elec mixer until creamy.
Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add milk, eat, beating until blended. Pour into a heavy saucepan.
Cook over med heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in bourbon.
Cool, cover and store in refrig.

Awesome served over french toast, yummy on homemade pound cake, waffles, or even stir in coffee.

To heat just heat amt you want to use at 50 percent in micro until heated, stirring once.

Newer version of Annie's Salsa - BWB only Annie's Salsa 8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained 2 1/2 cups chopped onion 1 1/2 cups chopped green pepper 3 to 5 chopped jalapenos (for milder leave out seeds and ribs) 6 cloves minced garlic 2 tsp cumin (optional) 2 tsp pepper 1/8 cup canning salt 1/4 c fresh cilantro (optional) 1/3 c sugar (optional) 1 cup cider vinegar (see note on subbing lemon or lime juice option) 16 oz canned tomato sauce (to adjust density) 8-16 oz canned tomato paste (to adjust density) Mix all ingredients, bring to a boil, boil 10 minutes. Pour into hot jars, process pints for 15 minutes in BWB. Makes 6 pints. _________ A lot of changes have been made to this recipe over the years. Some people like lemon or lime juice in place of some or all of the vinegar, that's fine. (Note from Sheila - I like half lemon half lime.) Some people leave out the cilantro, that's fine too. Do not increase! Some people add more hot peppers or fewer onions, fine as long as you keep the same total measurements. (Note this is what NCHFP does in their new Choice Salsa recipe.) Some people leave out the sugar, that's fine. You can scoop out the goo in the middle of the tomatoes with your thumbs when I'm peeling and chopping for a less seedy version, so it's 8 cups of chopped tomatoes without the seeds and goo. Most who make it regularly as well as Annie recommend using a variety of different slicing tomatoes, not paste types, for best flavor and consistency. (Note: use the tomato sauce and paste to adjust the consistency of the final product to a "sloshy" consistency.) According to Annie "My salsa is not as thick as Heinz catsup but it's thicker than taco sauce. If you don't like it quite as thick or sweet, cut down the amount of paste. I would add some, then taste. Reducing that ingredient shouldn't affect the safety of the recipe. I use equal amounts of sauce and paste. You can pull it off the heat at any point and adjust for flavor. Before I cook it I check for salt, sugar, check the consistency. Add more pepper or cumin if I want. When I first started making this salsa, tomato sauce and paste came in 8 and 16 ounce cans. Like everything else, they've now been downsized, so now I have to use partial cans." Does anybody have good versions of the other recipes that have weird symbols in them for measurements?

You COULD just eat it off a spoon - or try it on toast! Or use it to replace milk and sugar in your coffee. Or adjust quantities to make this icing for a half batch of patty cakes: Condensed Milk Icing 1 cup sifted icing sugar 1 good teaspoon lemon juice condensed milk flavouring as desired (finely grated orange or lemon rind, vanilla, cocoa, melted dark chocolate, coffee or coffee essence etc) Blend all ingredients, adding enough condensed milk very gradually to make the mixture into a thick cream.

Thanks, luckygardnr. That's quite a list--and one we can all use! I have some quinoa that I need to use so I thought I'd try this recipe. I love the taste of curry! I will use chicken breast instead of thighs, though. CURRIED CHICKEN QUINOA WITH PEAS 1 Tbsp olive oil About 1 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces 1 small red onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 15 oz. can petite diced tomatoes 1 Tbsp curry powder 1/2 Tbsp chili powder 1 tsp nutmeg 2 cups water or chicken broth 1 cup quinoa 1 12 oz. bag frozen peas Salt and pepper to taste Add the oil, chicken pieces, chopped onion and garlic to a Dutch oven. Saute for about 10 minutes, or until chicken pieces are mostly cooked. Add the diced tomatoes, undrained, curry powder, chili powder and nutmeg. Stir until combined and let cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the water and bring to a bubble. Stir in the quinoa, bring to rolling boil and then reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. With about 5 minutes left to cook, stir in the frozen peas. Turn heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve. Makes 4 adult portions.

Grainlady, Thank you for the helpful post (as always!) Jessy, I will always see you sitting in front of your flame decorated washer, watching the laundry go 'round! Katie, I added orange zest to my fudge; I picked a large orange so there would be plenty. (My motto is always to use real food.) It was an instant hit, as I suspect it would be. I offered to share the recipe, and the recipient didn't want it, thinking it was far more complicated than it really is. Since I didn't add the pecans, when I told her it was 3 ingredients, she changed her mind. Here's the recipe for those of you who asked. For those of you who try it, please let me know if you liked it! CHOCOLATE ORANGE FUDGE 2-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounce) 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) 2 teaspoons orange zest Line an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with lightly buttered waxed paper or aluminum foil. Set aside. Melt chocolate chips with condensed milk in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in pecans and grated orange peel. Spread in prepared dish and chill until firm. Carefully remove fudge from pan using the edges of the foil or waxed paper. Cut into squares. Store covered in refrigerator.

Lemon icebox pie?
Key lime pie? (That is, if you have any real key lime juice.)

Gee, I had no idea I could use that milk in pumpkin pie. I was using the receipe on the pumpkin can but I will try it next time. I already had the sugar in so I just used plain milk for the liquid. The condensed milk is in the fridge so will try one of these recipes tomomow.
Glenda. Bourbon sauce.Yum!
Thanks to you all.
