Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for these recipes especially the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. This is going to further my journey to make as much at home as possible and leave as many things as possible at the grocery store. Thanks a million!
I might have missed you saying it, but can all three of these be made with lactose free milk? In The Netherlands, we don’t have heavy cream, just whipping cream. Evaporated milk is used as “coffee milk” but never advertised as evaporated milk. You have now given me those missing ingredients for dozens of recipes I’ve not made for lack of those. Thank you!❤
When I think fondly of my great-grandparents and my grandparents, they did all of this type of cooking in their everyday cooking because there wasn't a grocery store on every corner like there is today. ❤ Thank you so much.
I love your homemade essentials video’s, especially this one using lactose free milk. When my father had cancer in ‘90 and could no longer tolerate milk, I got him some, and he found the taste not very appealing (to be polite about it, he could be very blunt 😂), so I’ve never tried it myself. But your video has opened a whole new world of dairy for me. Thanks! ❤
I agree with what your sweet daddy said…probably using the same language too lol! It definitely depends on the brand and also what you’re using it for. I’m not a fan of drinking it straight, but it’s fine when used in things😁
Actually, I don’t think that it is safe to home can dairy items, due to fats and density. I realize people do it, but it isn’t tested safe. If you want it for storage, you’re better of buying canned.
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest ~Invest in the Precise Digital Canner it’s the next best thing to sliced bread..lol..I have many canners and had this digital canner been available first I would have never bought the other canners. You can’t mess anything up and best thing is you don’t have to babysit it..I love it!
I was hoping the heavy cream could be used in cooked dishes. I have powdered milk, butter, and heavy cream. I'm excited to try them all. Its Christmas cookie time.
Hi, I was just wondering...did you also try making sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk using lactose free milk? Being lactose intolerant... these recipes are a game changer. Thanks so much!
I’ve never frozen it, so I checked google. It looks like you can freeze it, but it needs a little room to expand. It also may not freeze solid because of the high sugar content. Now we both know lol😁😁😁
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest Awesome! I’m making my own french vanilla coffee creamer and it calls for sweetened condensed milk. Making it is much more cost effective than purchasing it in the can.
I hope you didn't throw the curds away! You can make farmer's cheese or queso fresco, even try to whip it into butter. There is NO waste when using milk, especially whole milk. Same with butter. I don't know if you make your own clarified butter, but if you skim while it's cooking down to clear, you'll end up with buttermilk. Every bit of milk is valuable. I'm really loving this channel. BTW, you don't have to use all of this up by the "sell by" date. First of all, milk is usually good well past that date, even regular milk, for up to a week, or more depending on the temp in your fridge. To know when to throw it out (or better yet, turn it into something else) just smell it. You can use sour milk to make several different things. Secondly, the products you are making will last well past the "sell by" date of the milk because you've heated it, likely to a temperature to have killed any lingering bacteria, so it's like a "start over" with the "gone bad" clock. Trust your nose.
Thanks for the info. I always do the sniff test in my house lol. However, I can’t tell other people to do that and then risk someone getting sick not paying attention. To be on the safe side, I will always say use by the date. Then people can actually decide if they want to push it farther😁😁
I don’t do any canning, so I can’t say for certain. I’ve heard you’re not supposed to can dairy, but again, I’m not a canner so I’m not sure. See if Google has an answer that might help🙂
Excellent! Thank You! Btw I feel your pain with your type of stove…I have the same and coming from a place where I had a gas stove, I get so frustrated trying to control the heat. 🤷🏼♀️ I love these kitchen basic videos 😊
The "chunky" bits at the bottom of the pan are over cooked ( scorched milk) burnt. as long as they dont go into your finished product it should be fine.
I will try the cream 😂 it is heavy whipping cream I am horribly addicted too!!!! It just really puts soups and pasta and coffee OVER THE TOP to the next level but the toxic Chemicals they put in it to thicken has jacked my gut flora up 😭😭😢
I wonder if you could make cheese with the curds from your evaporated milk?❤❤❤ If you canned the evaporated milk I think it might be shelf stable…?🤷♀️
Thank you for sharing this! This will be so helpful. 😁 By the way, I love your friendly accent. We have extended family in the south and we love getting together with them. 🧡🍂
Don't take this the wrong way cuz it's a compliment I love your southern accent I don't know what Southern States you're from but it's you sure have a southern accent You take care dear and God bless
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest well I'm in Tennessee but I'm originally from Louisville Kentucky they say I have an accent too but I don't hear it I guess you wouldn't hear from the state I don't pay that much attention to my own voice so it's kind of hard to know if I have an accident or not but I've been told I do You take care dear and God bless and I love your videos
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest well dear I love your southern accent Don't change a thing I don't know how my accent sounds but don't change it I wished I was had a southern accent You take care and God bless You and your family
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest It is a good use for milk that is just off. Milk, a splash of vinegar, heat and a little time to drain. I like it to spread on toast.
Just give me that condensed milk and a pot of coffee. Yum. These are great to have, I like using evaporated milk for my cream pies and mashed potatoes. You're a great teacher ma'am. A speaker once said to speak or preach like your audience is Jr high students. LOL. Well, here I am. 😂
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest )Spell check changed "wastes" to "tastes." I changed it back.) But yes, it wastes energy, and don't your hands get hot when you are working with something small on that large burner? You can do as you like, obviously, but manufacturers recommend using a burner that fits your pot.
Dang you know how many recipes I’ve not done because I didn’t have sweetened condensed milk!!! Game changer 😊thank you
It really is! Thanks!😁
Ditto 😊

Glad it was helpful!😁😁
You are saving me so much money with these great recipes. Thank you!
I'm so glad!😁😁
the curd in the strainer is good for cheese..farmers cheese? just set the strainer in some ice water after the whey is poured off.
Ohhh nice! Thanks for the info!😁😁

You could can the sweeten condemned and the evaporated milk to make them shelf stable. Good video.
I’m not grown up enough to start canning yet lol. One of these days I’ll get there hopefully 😁😁

Yes and they came out the same as regular milk😁
Your channel is AWESOME.

Thanks so much!😁
Hey Tammy! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Hope your having a wonderful day. 😊😊
Thank you so much!😁😁
Thank you for showing us how to make these. Wondering if the sweetened condensed milk can be frozen after it’s made and cooled?
I’ve never frozen it, so I checked google. It looks like you can freeze it, but it needs a little room to expand. It also may not freeze solid because of the high sugar content. Now we both know lol😁😁😁

@@SuzanneHarden I’m making coffee creamers too😁😁
Like you, I have issues with heavy dairy products. How did your Lactose Milk do & taste as a heavy cream? Your videos are so helpful.
It turned out great! I couldn’t tell a difference from the regular milk😁
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest That is great news!
And it’ll save on the lactaid too. 😁
@@libbylandscape3560 definitely 😁
I will definitely try these! Could the sweetened condensed be made with lactose free you think?
I think it would work! Give it a shot!😁😁

I have one question do you refrigerate your finished milks?
Thank you! Yes, you need to refrigerate all of them😁
I miss it, can you use lactose milk? ❤
I used it in the heavy cream and it worked great! I haven’t tried it in the other 2, but I’m sure it would be fine😁
Gotta thank you
@@TalesFromAnEmptyNest that was my question too, thanks for answering it! ❤
The "chunky" bits at the bottom of the pan are over cooked ( scorched milk) burnt. as long as they dont go into your finished product it should be fine.
Always have to strain it🙂
How neat is this 😃
Thanks!😁😁
♥Loved this!
Thank you!😁
Thank you SO much for this video!!! I just found you yesterday and I am so happy I did!!
Thank you and welcome to the family!😁😁
Thanks for these great tips
You are so welcome!😁
Condensed milk is way too much work but the heavy cream is great.
It is a lot of work, but if you can’t get to the store or if you’re looking to cut out some extra ingredients, it’s worth it😁
This is awesome!! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!😁
For the sweetened, will brown sugar work?
I haven’t done it, but google says you can🙂
Thank you
Am from Pakistan and my daughter is lactose intolerant
This is very helpful
I’m so glad😁
WAIT!!! How did the lactose free version come out??
@@aprildegele1510 exactly like the regular😁

Is the heavy cream, suitable to use ìn cooked cheesecakes? Youre amazing.
Thanks! If you need to whip it to stiff peaks, maybe not. I could not get mine to whip and hold. You could certainly try it though🙂
Are you using salted or unsalted butter?
Unsalted🙂

Did the strained solids act like cream cheese? I need to look back at your prior videos to see if you've made soft farmers cheese.
