Did you ever go in your pantry thinking you have something to make a recipe you were dying to make to find out you must have used the last of it??? It’s raining outside, it’s almost rush hour, and you have a kid napping so the last thing you want to do is run to the store. That was me the other day. I had acquired a bottle of Nelly and Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice and I was wanting me some key lime pie. I got all my ingredients together but I was missing the sweetened condensed milk… A little Googl-ing (is that a word) and I found a recipe to make your own sweetened condensed milk. Actually I found a couple different ways to make it. I chose the powdered milk version because it was faster:)

Here is the recipe:

I tweaked a little… You can find the original recipe HERE

This is a really simple recipe! All you do is throw all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil

The key is to make sure that you are constantly stirring the mixture or it will burn or turn to caramel on the bottom. If you do manage to burn it a little (like I did) because the original recipe didn’t say to stir the whole time, I poured it into another pan (do not scrape the bottom or the chunks of burn will get in the mixture) and just reheat the mixture in that pan.

P.S. you will want to soak these pans right away or else they will make a mess! If you double the batch, it will make about a 14 oz can.
