I opened a can and used some for a lemon pie. Anything else you can
make from the leftover milk?

I've used Carnation fat-free evaporated milk for breakfast cereal with
great success. The evaporation of water adds a sweetness that makes it a
great version of milk when applied to breakfast cereal, imho.

Best,

I imagine you could use it in mashed potatoes, any cream sauce or soup
recipe. Perhaps as the milk in a meatloaf recipe that calls for soaking
the breadcrumbs??

Hello Dolly Bar

� cup butter or margarine
1 � cups graham wafer crumbs
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1-cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or more
1-� cups flaked coconut (long sweet)
1 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350� or 325� if using glass dish.
In 13x9" baking pan, melt butter in oven.
Sprinkle crumbs over butter; mix together and press into pan.
Pour Eagle Brand evenly over crumbs.
Sprinkle with chips, then coconut and nuts; press down firmly.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool well before cutting.
Store loosely covered at room temperature.

NOTE: This is how we put it together: graham base, top with nuts, coconut &
chocolate chips. Pour Eagle Brand over it all. Sometimes we add the Eagle Brand
in between layers too; still only using 1 can!


Nanaimo Bars

� cup butter
� cup brown sugar
� cup cocoa
1 egg, beaten
2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1 cup coconut, flaked or shredded
� cup walnuts or peanuts, chopped
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/3 cup Lemon juice
1/3 cup melted chipits semi-sweet chocolate baking chips

Melt butter and stir in sugar, cocoa, egg, crumbs, coconut and walnuts.
Press into bottom of a 9x9" pan.
Combine Eagle Brand with lemon juice.
Blend well and spread onto base.
Sprinkle with toasted almonds or pistachios or drizzle with melted chocolate
chips.
Refrigerate until firm (about 2 hours).

***Note: It's important to use butter for a couple of reasons; the filling
will be lighter in color. It also has a lighter taste.

I'll correct myself. The evaporation process doesn't ADD sweetness, rather
it more pronounces the content of sugar that was there to begin with.

Nope. The recipe was from "White Trash Cooking," and it called for
BOTH evaporated milk and condensed milk.

If you can't bear to throw it out, mix it with some regular milk and
stretch your supply - then use in cooking? Clam chowduh?

Evap is good in coffee, excellent drizzled over nilla ice cream, and
over cooked chocolate pudding... I also love it with my breakfast
flakies... it'll also whip just like whipped cream.

It doesn't taste "a bit different." It tastes a lot different.
Canned milk should have gone the way of the buggy whip decades ago.

I ALWAYS use evaporated milk for: meatloaf and scalloped/au gratin
potatoes. Works better than plain whole milk or light cream - adds
richness without as much fat. I cannot, however STAND the taste of it
"raw"! ;-)

Cook it down into a custard. Or put it into your coffee. The Dutch
'koffiemelk' is very much like evaporated milk, so I use the canned milk
from time to time as a comfort thing LOL.

Evaporated milk mixed with Karo syrup used to be the standard
'formula' for babies who were not breast fed. There's 100's of
thousands of people who were fed this long before Similac ever
appeared on the scene.

Babies aren't very picky.

Cow's milk is for calves. It doesn't have the correct percentages of
protein, fat and sugar for human babies. It's fine as a supplement or
for older kids who other getting other food.

Is "Karo syrup" where kids got their taste for HFCS? :-)

Actually, Karo syrup did _not_ contain HFCS, to my surprise, and did
have real vanilla in it. Who knew?

True, no HFCS, but instead NO fructose corn syrup (worse in most
ways). Except for the vanilla and salt, it was just glucose and
water.

I mentioned it because CS (corn syrup), (which, with salt and vanilla,
as Bryan mentioned), is Karo Light, is the first step in producing HFCS.

I just checked the web site:

http://www.karosyrup.com/products.html

Only Karo pancake contains HFCS, the others (Karo Light, Lite, Dark and
Brown Sugar, don't).

Note that "Light" refers to the color. "Lite" has sucralose added to
reduce calories.

Thai style iced tea or iced coffee is made with sweetened condensed
milk. I think it's too sweet. Should be good with the regular
evaporated milk instead.

Freeze it. I buy evaporated milk in both the 12 oz and the 5oz cans.
I don't drink milk so keeping this on hand at times has been a
lifesaver.
