Making Sweetened Condensed Milk from Powdered Milk

I bought Crystal Godfreys book I Can't Believe it's Food Storage and I love all her ideas and how she makes using your storage look so easy. She is also the person behind the site http://www.everydayfoodstorage.net/. You should check out her site and her book! Both are excellent! I made this sweetened condensed milk for about 75 cents (which is found in her book) and I know a can from the store is alot more than that!

So I share the recipe hoping to inspire all to use or rotate your storage!

Sweetened Condensed Milk

(from I Can't Believe its Food Storage book)

• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 cup non-instant dry powdered milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp butter

Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly in blender. Use immediately or store in refrigerator or freezer.

Magic Fudge Sauce

I found this recipe on the everyday food storage site! She is so great to give how to use your food storage in cooking too! This was really good and the kids loved it and it was fast! The other fun part is this is like that magic shell stuff that hardens on your ice cream!

Magic Fudge Sauce

(http://www.everydayfoodstorage.net/)

• 1 cup (6 ounces) Semisweet Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 3 tbsp evaporated milk (1 tbsp dry powdered milk + 3 tbsp water)
• Vanilla Ice-cream
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

In a heavey saucepan, combine chocolate chips, butter and milk. Cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Serve warm over ice cream (sauce will harden). Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate any leftovers. Sauce can be reheated in the microwave.

Yield about 1 cup.
