  • Homemade condensed milk! Who doesn't love this dessert — that tender, gooey, sweet-as-can-be spread you just can't put down? One spoonful, then another, you close your eyes, savor it, and oops, half the jar is gone! This "dangerous" treat has won over generation after generation of sweet tooths, and it's twice as satisfying to learn to make it yourself. It's not hard and takes no special skills — make condensed milk at home, just like we do! A little history: condensed milk is concentrated milk, usually made with sugar. The first condensed-milk factory in Russia opened in Orenburg in 1881. The technology was patented on August 19, 1856, by the American inventor Gail Borden, who set out to find a way to preserve food long-term. Returning from a London trade fair in 1851, he witnessed several children die from drinking tainted milk from sick cows, and from that point on he devoted himself to condensing milk. In 1858 the world's first condensed-milk factory opened in the U.S., and with the outbreak of the Civil War the product was made in huge quantities to supply Union soldiers. Borden's postwar fame let him set up several new factories and pass a thriving company on to his sons, while he himself ended his days in a small Texas town named Borden in his honor.
