# 51 Sweetened Condensed Milk

I still have a few more beverage recipes to cover but I need to blog a couple ingredients first. Did you know you can make homemade sweetened condensed milk....you can! And it's easy!

Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/4 cup melted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup instant powdered milk
1/2 cup boiling water

Pour everything into a blender and blend together until smooth. Be sure to scrap down the sides and blend some more.

 

I used a scale to weigh it and then labeled the jar with the amount in ounces.

 

I made two small jars because I knew I would need both for a couple beverage recipes that I planned to make. The batches that I made did not turn out too thick, but if that happens to you, just add a little more water. It will thicken as it chills. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It is so yummy and tastes just the same as the store-bought stuff.  No need to buy the canned stuff anymore!
