Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

I bake a lot during the holidays and often use canned or sweet milk. My neat little neighbor lady gave this recipe to me that her mother gave to her. It is a money saver, especially since I always have a box of powdered milk in the house on stand-by.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup oleo or margarine
  • 1 cup powdered milk

Directions:

Place first three ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour into blender, slowly add powdered milk as blending. Blend until smooth. Keep refrigerated.

Great for use in Pumpkin Pies or any recipe that requires canned or sweet milk.

Servings: 1 cup
Time: 12 Minutes Preparation Time
5 Minutes Cooking Time

This sounds like a really good recipe but what is the difference between oleo and margarine? Can butter be used?

Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

This makes the equivalent of one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dry milk powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Directions:

Heat a bowl of water in the microwave until it is very hot (or use tap water if you can get it steaming hot).

Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add the hot water and beat with an electric mixer or wire whisk until smooth.

Note: This should be made as you need it and will not store well. One recipe equals one can of store bought sweetened condensed milk.
