My Dad used to make bottles of homemade Bailey's
Cream TW for presents at Christmas :O)

Mmmm Fudge

900g (2lb) Sugar
225g (8oz) Unsalted Butter
1 large tin Evaporated Milk
Water (quarter of the volume of Evaporated Milk)
Vanilla Essence

Place the sugar, butter, milk, water and vanilla essence into a saucepan.
Heat gently until it is fully dissolved.
Rapidly boil the mixture to a temperature of 114 - 118°C (238 - 245°F) the soft ball stage.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 2 - 3 minutes, then beat rapidly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and becomes rough in texture.
Pour the mixture into a 20cm (8 inch) baking tin, lined with silicone paper.

Allow to cool a little before marking into squares with a knife.

Leave in a cool place to set, cut into squares and store in an airtight container.

OK, there's strawberry Mousse.

1 pack of strawberry jelly, made up but not set, and cooled.

I tin of evap. Best kept in the fridge overnight/

I tin of strawberries. (use the juice as part of the fluid for the jelly to add flavour)

In a large bowl, preferably with a cover, use an electric whisk to whip the milk up into a froth until it starts to thicken and doubles in size. While still whipping, slowly add the jelly. Pour into a large serving bowl or individual dishes and leave in the fridge to set. Decorate with the strawberries. Can be done with rasperries too, but watch the pips don't get in the milk mixture, they sink to the bottom LOL

Second...Home made Baileys.

Whiskey
Coffee (one tbs instant mixed with a little water)
tin of evap.
tin of condensed milk
Glycerine (from the chemist) a few drops.

Lightly whisk the two milks together. add the coffee and glycerin. add whiskey to taste, mix well..bottle and enjoy.

Yes and there's evaporated milk with evaporated milk and evaporated milk on the side.

It makes lovely creamy rice pudding.

What an example of a terrible wasteful world we live in.. thank goodness you decided to use them...
My contribution...... Milk jelly.

make up jelly using half pint of water allow to cool(but not set), add 1/4 pint amount of vappy milk whisk until all frothy allow to set, you end up with a kind of blancmange bottom and set frothy top..xx

YOU COULD MAKE

GALLONS OF TOFFEE SAUSE

IF ANY LEFT DONATE IT TO

A ANIMAL RESCUE CENTER

As part of a merchandising job we were required to uplift old stock of evaporated milk from supermarkets.There is nothing wrong with it,it is in date but I think the packaging has been superceded.

It would be unprofessional to pass it on to others and we are asked to destroy it, which I think is pretty wicked.

It did occur to me that I would try to destroy as much as possible through our ailimentary canals.

We actually have twenty dozen cartons to destroy.

Please tell me as many recipes using evaporated milk as you can.
