EGG = 1 TBSP MAYO
HONEY = CORN SYRUP
WHT. WINE = APPCIDER OR JUICE
RICOTTA = COTTAGE CHEESE
LEMON JUICE = LIME JUICE
IF IN BAKING FOR FLAVOR USE ARTIFICIAL EXTRACT.

That should work also. When I make the chocolate fudge recipe that calls for 1 can evaporated milk, chocolate chips and marshmallow creme, I use regular milk. In fact I use 2% milk as that is what I keep on hand.

According to this site you could try regular milk:

"Question: My question is: can you substitute regular liquid milk (actually, I'd use soy) for evaporated milk in a baking recipe? And if so, what would be the substitution?  A dough recipe I have calls for 1 cup of evaporated fat free milk. Thank you.  - Zehava Cohn (8/30/01)

Answer: Yes, you can substitute regular liquid milk for evaporated or soy milk. It would be a equal substitution. Evaporated milk is substituted all the time."

Ah, but have you got any reverse suggestions? I am more likely not to have the substitutes than the original ingredients.

For instance, I could use some evap milk right now for a recipe, but only have ordinary.
