Evaporated & Condensed Milk

Evaporated (or condensed) milk is a condensed version of fresh milk that has its water content removed. Evaporated milk has a long shelf life and canned evaporated milk can last over a year without being refrigerated. Evaporated milk is not typically used for drinking, but is used in baked goods, like pumpkin pie, as a substitute for fresh milk. Condensed milk is used in a wide variety of desserts, such as fudge and candies to improve sweetness and moistness.
