I went to RecipeZaar.com & searched for Homemade Condensed Milk & all I found were recipes that listed condensed milk as an ingredient??

OK, here is the link to Paula Deen's recipe from the Food Network. (I have not personally tried it!) If the link is not "hot" when you click on it, cut and paste in your browser. Or go to Google and do a search for "Paula Deen's condensed milk recipe"! Hope this helps! (And I am going to try it once I get to the store to buy some powdered milk.) http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/sweetened-condensed-milk-recipe/index.html

What you're saying..
I just want to thank you for several years of eating discovery and pleasure. My son gave me Desperation Dinners! I started out just letting the book fall open and I made whatever it fell to. Later on I started systematically going through the whole book. It took me about 3 years, but it was an exciting adventure.
