What Can I Do With Partial Can Of Sweetened Condensed Milk?

[Judy Haffner]

Yesterday I opened a can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, as was
making slice & bake cookies that called for 1/8 cup of that type of
milk, and so now I have this 14 oz. can in the refrigerator, minus that
amount. It costs over $3 a can here now, so I hate to just throw it out,
but all the recipes I can recollect using it for, call for the entire
can, so does anyone know of something I could make to use up the
remainder?

Thanks for any ideas!

Do you have some sweetened, flaked coconut? Mix it with the canned milk
until you can form small balls. Bake them until they begin to turn
golden. You can top the macaroons with a half of a candied cherry if you
have them.

Most any recipe you have for a whole can won't suffer much from
1/8 cup (2 Tbsp?) less of the milk. Youc an always add 1/8 cup of milk
or other liquid to make up the deficit.

Hot fudge. In a heavy saucepan melt two squares of unsweetened baking
chocolate, add the can (or most of a can) of sweetened condensed milk.
Heat and stir until evenly blended. Apply to your sundae, banana split,
etc.

I frequently use it in Jello 'Cook' pudding mixes. Makes chocolate pudding
(with vanilla wafers) or vanilla pudding (with bananas) just a little richer
and sweeter. Since I use fat-free milk, the addition of 'some' condensed
milk helps. Polly

I found them yesterday at the same size, 14 oz, for 3/$4. I only bought
one because I just want to have it on hand for a recipe at whim. Same
with evap milk.

Take this recipe and adjust by whatever to match proportions of the
remainder of the SCM

I can SCM
pint cream
4 eggs
1 Tbsp chocolate syrup
10 oz Irish whisky (or any whisky)

Put it in a blender and whizz it all together.

[sf]

Great idea! So little SCM has been used, she can make just about any
recipe that calls for a full can - like these recipes

That was the first thing I thought of too, but I always use a little
fat-free half & half, and the sweetened condensed seems too rich, and
also would add sweetness to the coffee, so don't think I'd care for
that.

'A Moose in Love' is the name of a thoroughbred horse that runs the
major track circuit. I understand that your husband is an avid
hunter. So I'm going to talk a bit about Moose.
I was in Northern Ontario a few years back, and pulled off the road
into a small rest area. I got out of my car, and there about 20 yards
from me was a big old moose. It looked at me, and I looked at it. I
glanced away for a second or two, and when I looked back, the moose
was gone. Not a sound. Such a big animal, and not a twig disturbed
etc. It was just gone.
Around 2000, I was driving at night in Newfoundland. I was warned
about the moose. I thought that the Newfies were pulling my leg. But
that night, the woods beside the roads were packed with moose. I was
speeding, and the mounties pulled me over and warned me. The one
officer told me that the prior week, his friend while driving was
attacked by a moose. The moose ran up to his car, and slammed his
head in the back window. The head of the moose was ripped off.
Anyway, I had a moose charge me that night. It ran up to my car, but
at the last minute veered away. Whew. Close call.
Many wild animals are quiet in the bush. My first experience was with
wild Rocky Mountain Sheep. My buddies and I were muckin' about back
in the mountains behind Fernie, BC. We came upon a herd of about 10
sheep. I had my camera. I looked down to make the correct F-stops,
and shutter speeds. When I looked back, the sheep were gone. Not a
sound. Nothing.

(LOL) Yes, that would be an option alright, except one recipe makes
4-1/2 dozen, so I'd end up with enough for an army, though I suppose I
could freeze them, but don't care to make that many more of them, even
though they are a nice rich butter cookie, and I decorated them with
Halloween sprinkles.

I almost didn't, but they always say don't substitute another kind of
milk for sweetened condensed, but I'm sure I could have gotten away with
it in cookies.

Never seen them in smaller cans around here..just the 14 oz. size.

Everything costs more in Alaska!

Yes, that is true, but food isn't nearly as expensive in the
Southeastern part of the state(where we live) as on up north. One can be
careful and thrifty and shop sales.

Alaska offers many benefits though, especially to seniors, as we don't
pay property taxes up to a $150,000 home, and then just a small
percentage for anything over that value. We also get one vehicle
licensed free per year, and don't pay sales tax. There is no State tax
here, or school tax, and every man, woman and child, that has been a
resident of the state, gets a Permanent Fund Dividend check from Oil
Royalties every fall. This year is amounted to $1174, but it changes
every year.

After having spent more time than we were inclined to while awaiting a
new transmission for our truck, we got to meet many Alaskans.

Most of them had emmigrated there because they didn't like living in the
lower 48. Too many rules, too many people and all that. Everyone seemed
to have a story about why they hated it in the lower 48.

As my DH says, it's a state populated by disfunctionals.

There is some nice scenery up there, but If I had my choice, I'd go to
the Canadian Rockies. Much more scenery without having to travel so much
and civilized people. JMHO

From what I have read, it is no more expensive to live in an Alaskan
city than most other US cities, though groceries etc. are more
expensive in remote areas. On the plus side... lots of high paying job,s
low state taxes and the annual state payout to residents, over $2,000
per resident per year.

Thanks for all the options....for sure I will check them out. I've used
SCM a lot over the years, but every recipe idea I found, or thought of,
uses a entire can of it, and wasn't sure if substituting 2 tbsp. of
another type of milk would be successful.

Enjoyed hearing about your moose experiences, etc. They can really get
angry (particularly when they are in rut and wanting a lady moose (cow)
but they are very unpredictable, and can't be trusted.

My husband has shot many of them through the years, and even rescued a
newborn calf from the river near his cabin. Just a few minutes longer,
and it would have drowned. He thinks a brown bear must have gotten the
mother. We love the meat...it is much better than beef, and as I
understand it, it is the only meat that has vitamin C in it, so good for
preventing colds! :))

Not at all true. Just because people move to Alaska to escape the "rat
race" in the South 48, doesn't exactly make them dysfunctional. Besides
anywhere a person lives, or travels to, you're going to run into less
than civilized people and undesirables maybe.

I'm not sure what part(s) of the state you were in? but the Southeastern
part of the state has abundant raw natural beauty and is truly "God's
Country". I was born and raised in the capital city of Alaska, and have
traveled to several places, but am always glad to get back home, as to
me there is no greater place in the world.

That's a misconception many have about Alaska. Where we live, it is very
mild, and not near as cold as many states. We just had our first frost
last week, and no snow yet, and back East, they are dealing with PILES
of snow, power outages, etc. It rarely gets down into the teens for lows
in the winter at night, and we don't have all that much snow either. Our
summers are warm and pleasant...no humidity and no triple digit
temperatures either.

We get quite a bit of rain year around, but probably no more than you do
in WA. We've been there, and have many friends living there, and they
complain about so much rain.

I'm not an outdoor's person either, but I love it here. You don't have
to be an outdoor's enthusiast to enjoy living here.

Judy
P.S. We also don't have to deal with hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms,
blizzards, and severe flooding either and even thunder/lightening is a
rare occurrence.

I believe it. Some years ago, many of the people I worked with worked on
fishing boats in various capacities that went to AK. They worked at our
store during the down time. They had heard about high paying jobs in AK.
So the moved there and discovered that had they been getting that pay in WA
they would have been living well! But it wasn't so great for AK because the
prices were so much higher.

We had two women who would come down to our store to shop once a year or so.
They usually bought a lot of sets of Melamine dishes. Do they even make
those any more? I can't remember exactly what all else they bought but most
likely toiletries. They hauled it all back to AK in a van to be resold in
their store. I think they had some other reason to be in WA than just that.
Perhaps visiting friends or relatives. Always astounded me that people
would do that and be able to make money on it but I guess they needed less
than what they could buy wholesale and jobbers don't usually sell that sort
of goods.

More recently my husband's friend moved to AK. He is ex Navy/Coast guard
and also a carpenter. So he has plenty of skills that can be used in that
area. He liked living there but said it was just too expensive.

Interesting! I don't think we get a lot of rain here. Sure at times I wish
it wouldn't rain so much. But after living in PA, MA, and NY I know they
get more rain there than we do here. Lack of sun here, yes!

My daughter spent her early years in Alameda CA. She didn't know what rain
was. Yes it rained there. Once for about two weeks but mostly at night. I
guess she doesn't remember. Rained so hard there was flooding in some
areas.

We moved from there and were staying overnight in a motel. There was an
outdoor pool. She wanted to go in the pool. I kept telling her she
couldn't because it was raining. Actually now that I think of it that is
probably a silly thing to say. Who would really care about rain in a pool?
Or maybe you would. Maybe when coming up for air you would get rain in your
nose. Anyway... What I said didn't have a meaning to her and she asked me
what those drops of water were coming from the sky? She had never seen rain
before.

For as nice as the weather was in Alameda (pretty much 70 year round), it
wasn't a good place to live. Not IMO. It was expensive. Few good
restaurants or places to shop. Pretty much you had to leave the island and
go to Oakland or San Francisco. And then you were battling the traffic. I
hate traffic!

Do you happen to have a site that states that? It would be
understandable though, since it costs extra to ship everything here
through the barge lines. Fred Meyer and Wal-Mart both have some great
sales, and those are what I look for, plus using cash-off coupons. From
what I hear, the cost of food has sky rocketed all over the country, and
not just have gotten higher here.

I would be very interested in knowing where some of the people were
traveling from out of Alaska to buy supplies in WA., as that makes no
sense to me? Maybe they live in remote islands and villages, but even
those people come to Juneau often (especially in the summer) and stock
up at our Costco store to take back home.

Not sure either where these fisherman were at, but the big highliners,
fishing the outside waters around Alaska and in the Bering Sea, make a
fortune during a fishing season. My foster brother has been a fisherman
for many years, as are his two sons, and they have a HUGE income, but
they work hard for it too.

My hubby retired from the City 23 years ago, and with his retirement,
which is very good, and our Social Security, we have no financial
problems whatsoever, and want for nothing. We buy what we want, and
never have to worry about where our next meal is going to come from, or
if we can buy heating fuel for the house in the winter, etc. With all
the benefits seniors get in Alaska, we feel this is the "land of
wealth", but I can't speak for residents living out in the "bush" in
Timbuktu.

Well that I don't know. Some of the people who worked on the fishing boats
were from Sitka.

These were not the fishermen. One lady did the cooking on the boat. I am
not sure what the others did but more menial things.

I have known a few fishermen over the years. Yes they made good money. But
they were not at all good at bugeting. And they seemed to have big drinking
problems and in some cases drug problems, at least when they were not
working. So no matter how much money they made, as soon as they were in
port, they would spend it. And then they'd be in financial trouble. I sure
won't say all fishermen are like this. Just the ones I've met.

Yes, I certainly hear you there, as we've also known some that make big
money, but just seem to "blow it" when they aren't out fishing, and
really is a shame. It was the same years ago, when my one brother in law
worked on the North Slope oil fields. His paychecks weekly were really
large, but he told about some of the workers, during their "down time"
when was off work, they would just throw it around like water. Luckily
he and his wife were thrifty, and they had a real nice sized "next egg"
in the bank, after he no longer worked there.

As my hubby often says, "poor people" often have poor ways.

Put plastic wrap over the can, and stick it in the freezer. When it's
good and frozen, eat it with a spoon.

Thanks! this really does sound so good. Out of all the suggestions that
were given to me, this one actually appeals to me the most. Will let you

There are some "no cook" fudge recipes out there - I'd have to ask my
wife for the details but involve things like melting chocolate chips,
adding sweetened condensed milk, some vanilla, and, well, that's it -
you pour it into something and let it cool.

we spent 2 months in Alaska back in 1997. We were on the Keni Peninsula,
Anchorage, Denali, Seward, Valdez, Fairbanks, etc. Drove up and back on
the Alaska Highway. Took most of the other major roads, too. What we
didn't see via the land routes, we saw on a cruise in 2005. It's a
terrible shame what the cruise industry did to the maritime villages.
Looks like the Caribbean of the North.

We stayed a week in Wasilla. Went to the Alaska State Fair, too.

Throw it out. I can't stand the stuff. I can't even look at it, let
alone use it or taste it. LOL. Not what you wanted to hear, I'm
sure.

Huh?! why is that, Nancy? I've used it for 60 years in baking and for
candy making...it's a wonderful ingredient, and doesn't really have a
"flavor" of it's own when it's an added ingredient. I've never tasted it
as is, but there is no strong unpleasant smell from it when I open it,
so I'm baffled why you feel as you do?

Every time I open a can of sweetened condensed milk I think of the
father of a childhood friend. The man had spent 3 1/2 years in a
Japanese PoW camp and he told us about getting cans of SCM in the Red
Cross parcels and he pantomimed wiping the can clean with his finger and
then licking and sucking every last bit off his fingers.

I've mentioned this before I think: I used to make a salad dressing
with condensed milk, vinegar, and hot mustard powder. Just vary the
components to get the consistency and heat you want. Went well with
my standard tossed salad (the only sort of salad I actually like).

Another thought: Condensed milk seems to live forever in the fridge.
If air can get at it, it will form a crust that you have to break
through to get at the still-liquid stuff below. (Come to that, the
crust is very edible too. :-)


Cheers, Phred.

That sounds more like a fruit salad dressing, not for greens.

[Nancy2]

It just looks and smells like some old kind of dairy glop -
unappetizing color to boot. Don't ask me, it's just a foible. One of
many, probably. LOL.

I think whole corn mixed into things like salsa or salads or soups
makes the dish look like vomit, too - it's just my view, twisted as it
may be.

I make hot fudge sauce like that, only with skim milk, and it has
great flavor and consistency. Each to his/her own.

find one that uses the entire can, cut it by twenty five percent, proceed as
usual... the remainder... mix with a little regular milk and put on a cereal
you would normally prefer sweet, also not bad in hot cereals, Lee
