Make Your Own Condensed Milk

Today I am going to show you how to make your own condensed milk at house utilizing simply milk and sugar. Considering that a lot of dishes call for condensed milk on can measurements, this recipe will make the specific equivalent of a single can of condensed milk. The included bonus of making your own condensed milk is that it exercises at approximately half the cost of store-bought condensed milk. To begin, distribute 2 and one quarter cups of full cream milk, and 2 thirds of a cup of sugar plus one tablespoon. You can use any white sugar, nevertheless I choose to use caster sugar as it is highly improved and contains less pollutants, resulting in less residue or slag that needs to be skimmed from the top of the pot.

Place a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and gather the milk and sugar. Stir this till the sugar has liquified. You will know when it is liquified as the bottom of the pot will be smooth. At this stage, eliminate the spatula from the pot and wait until the milk simply concerns a mild simmer around the edges. Minimize the heat and enable this to simmer gently for 35-40 minutes. The exact timing will depend on what pot you use, your range, and numerous other variables. During this stage it is necessary not to interrupt the milk in any way. Stirring or upseting the milk will knock sugar crystals that form on the edges of the pot back into the mixture, and this will lead to a grainy condensed milk. When the milk has actually reduced to half of it's initial volume, use a spoon dipped in a little water to skim any slag or scum. If the milk coats you spoon and drips off from the spoon like putting cream, the process is total. Remove the pot from the heat and pour the condensed milk through a screen to strain out any skin and slag that you may have missed with the spoon. Allow the condensed milk to cool to space temperature level before cooling and covering. The condensed milk will last for 6 months under refrigeration. As the condensed milk cools it will thicken drastically to the consistency of store-bought condensed milk. And there we have it, silky-smooth velvety condensed milk made right here in your home.
