Most directions I have found say to take a can of condensed milk and boil it in plenty of water anywhere form 1-4 hours, then let it cool and enjoy. My question is, if I boil it and let it cool, can I keep it in the can, unopened and unrefridgerated for a few days, or does the boiling take that option away? I want to do two cans and save one to use on Friday. Thanks for your help!

I don't think you even need to refrigerate the can. Tue Oct 17 15:00:50 -0700 2006 1951522 12335 cheryl_h 2 1951740 I figured that, but just needed confirmation. Thanks!

After they cool I keep the ones I'm not using immediately in the refrigerator - although they'd probably be fine on the counter.... Tue Oct 17 20:11:45 -0700 2006 1951740 10222 queenie
