Homemade Condensed Milk

In our previous episode I spoke about phony condensed milk that is flooding the markets all over the world-- if you missed it, the link remains in the description listed below. Today I am going to reveal you how to make your own condensed milk in the house using simply milk and sugar. Since a lot of dishes call for condensed milk on can measurements, this dish will make the specific equivalent of a single can of condensed milk. Just double up the dish and adjust the timings appropriately if you need 2 cans. The added perk of making your own condensed milk is that it exercises at roughly half the cost of store-bought condensed milk. To start, ration 2 and one quarter cups of complete cream milk, and 2 thirds of a cup of sugar plus one tablespoon. You can utilize any white sugar, nevertheless I prefer to utilize caster sugar as it is highly refined and consists of less pollutants, resulting in less scum or slag that needs to be skimmed from the top of the pot.

Place a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and pour in the milk and sugar. Stir this up until the sugar has liquified. You will know when it is dissolved as the bottom of the pot will be smooth. At this phase, eliminate the spatula from the pot and wait till the milk just concerns a mild simmer around the edges. Decrease the heat and permit this to simmer gently for 35-40 minutes. The precise timing will depend upon what pot you use, your range, and many other variables. Throughout this stage it is crucial not to interrupt the milk in any method. Stirring or agitating the milk will knock sugar crystals that form on the edges of the pot back into the mix, and this will result in a rough condensed milk. When the milk has actually reduced to half of it's original volume, utilize a spoon dipped in a little water to skim any slag or residue. If the milk coats you spoon and drips off from the spoon like putting cream, the procedure is total. Eliminate the pot from the heat and put the condensed milk through a screen to strain out any skin and slag that you may have missed out on with the spoon. Allow the condensed milk to cool to room temperature before cooling and covering. The condensed milk will last for 6 months under refrigeration. As the condensed milk cools it will thicken dramatically to the consistency of store-bought condensed milk. And there we have it, silky-smooth creamy condensed milk made right here in your home.
