Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 That stuff freaks me out. Milk the looks blueish and it doesn't pour from the can. Donate it, there are many people who could use the cans you have but you can survive without it. If you haven't used it by now, don't bother. I bought it once, opened the end with a can opener and it didn't pour, I was ready to run from that puppy.LOL Donna , " L.B.

The dairy part is not the problem, the " sweetened " part is. So many conventional foods, and even vegetarian ones, have corn-derived products in them. I do not " do " the corn stuff. I would like to use up these cans of sweetened condensed milk, (Aldi's store brand, in case it matters), but if the " sugar " in the ingredients list might be corn-derived, I might as well chuck them out. I don't know why I bought them in the first place--probably for some dessert for a huge gathering that I changed the menu for at the last minute. > > Thanks, if there is any information about this y'all can pass on! > > --Laura B., in Illinois > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Does anyone know if you can sub an alternative milk for condensed with some kind of sugar or evaporated in baking recipes and what the ratio would be? I've never been able to find anything that really talks about it, and I have always avoided recipes calling for it since I'm allergic to milk anyway and wasn't sure how to handle it.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Here you go: SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK In blender combine 1 cup powdered milk, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup boiling water and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Blend until smooth. This recipe equals 1 can sweetened condensed milk.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I must have missed something on the post about subbing for sweetened, condensed milk. I thought the person asking about it was allergic to milk, so how can she use powdered milk in the substitution and not react to it? Is it different enough to not cause allergic reactions? I didn't know that. --Laura B., in Illinois Posted by: " Marilyn Daub " mcdaub mcdaub Wed Nov 26, 2008 10:00 am ((PST)) Here you go: SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK In blender combine 1 cup powdered milk, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup boiling water and 3 tablespoons melted butter.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 That post was for me...they do sell powdered soy milk at least, so it's still doable. I wouldn't be able to use regular powdered milk for it.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I am lactose intolerant. Even those lactose pills down't cut it for me. I personally can't have any type of milk in more than 1/4 of cup serving, even powdered. I've seen a few apple pure/applesauce substitutes used in a few vegan recipes, but I haven't tried one out personally. , " Michelle Reeves " <michfellows wrote: > > That post was for me...they do sell powdered soy milk at least, so it's > still doable.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I could be wrong but I thought that soy milk WAS for people who are lactose intolerant. Is this not correct? Lactose is the inability to digest properly the milk sugar (lactose) found in milk from an animal source...right? I keep seeing ads on TV for this new soy milk called SILK.....maybe you can tolerate it. Here is information I found on the internet about lactose free substitutes. I hope this helps you out. Nancy C. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/68994/dairy_milk_substitutes_lactosefre\ e.html?cat=22 Dairy Milk Substitutes: Lactose-free Alternatives If you are lactose intolerant of have allergies to milk or dairy, then you likely already know about a few dairy substitutes and alternatives, such as soy milk. But there are quite a few other substitutes for milk and dairy products available on the market that you may be interested in, and each one has different benefits and nutritious qualities. The price of milk is also slowly but steadily rising, so if you are simply seeking an alternative to milk and other dairy products, you may want to consider some other alternatives, such as almond milk, oat milk, rice milk, and others. Soy Milk Soy Milk is currently the most popular and well-known alternative to dairy milk, thanks to extensive advertising and the many supermarkets and groceries that now carry the dairy substitute. Produced from soybeans that have been ground and mixed with water and a sweetener, soy milk is ideal for anyone who is lactose intolerant or has other allergies to dairy, as well as vegetarians and others looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. Like dairy milk, soy milk can be purchased in different varieties and flavors, and can substitute for milk in various recipes as well, such as soups and baked goods. While soy milk may not possess the calcium and Vitamin D that can be found in dairy milk, it is an excellent source of thiamine and magnesium, among other essential minerals, and is low fat, low carb, low calorie, and a good source of protein and fiber. More importantly, soy milk contains a number of compounds that are said to help greatly reduce the risk of cancer and other harmful diseases and afflictions. Studies are still being pursued to determine all the healthful benefits that can be found in soy milk. Rice Milk Rice Milk is also a low calorie alternative that does happen to possess both Vitamin D and Calcium, and significantly less fat than soy milk. However, it is slightly higher in carbs and is lacking in protein and fiber. Rice Milk can usually be found in health food stores and some supermarkets. It is made from brown rice, water and a sweetener, and like soy milk, is lactose-free and available in a number of varieties and flavors to suit your taste. I am lactose intolerant. Even those lactose pills down't cut it for me. I personally can't have any type of milk in more than 1/4 of cup serving, even powdered.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just recently I found a vegan sweetened condensed milk recipe adn it called for sugar, soymilk and cornstarch. It turned out well and I used it to make caramel sauce. I will try to find the recipe and get it posted soon. Cherie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
