Milk, Condensed

Condensed milk is a most useful preparation for cooking purposes, or for milk puddings of any kind. It is also good in tea or coffee. The chief advantage that it has over fresh milk is, that it does not so readily turn sour, and that it contains so much sugar that little more, if any, need be used with it. It is valuable in the nursery, as it is well known to correspond with the mother's milk better than fresh cow's milk, so that when an infant needs partial feeding, it is not at all upset by the process. To stewed fruits it is a very pleasant accompaniment, and is an economical substitute for cream and sugar. Probable cost, 5d. to 8d. per tin.
