how long you can keep it in fridge once it has been opened?

No one ever asks that question ;)There's usually someone hanging about with a spoon waiting to finish off an opened can.

Annoying when a recipe calls for just 2 tablespoons.I froze the rest then thawed it intending to use it but didn't get to it as soon as I had hoped.

Take the lid right off and seal with gladwarp, it will keep a week or two or three.It may form a skin, but the underneath milk will still be OK

Not sure how long it lasts in the fridge sorry, but for future reference condensed milk freezes relatively soft, so just spoon out the small amount you need from frozen rather than defrosting the hole lot :)

Cover with tin foil & put into the freezer. Doesn't freeze solid so you can use as required.

I use it in very small quantities to make up just a small amount of the old favourite salad dressing.I find it keeps for ages in the fridge.Sometimes when it's been in there for several weeks, and there's not much left in the tin, it starts to crystalise, but in that case, I just make up the last batch of salad dressing in the tin, and then transfer it to a small dish to serve.

I transfer it to a glass jar with a plastic lid, then freeze it.. it's easy to take a tablespoonful or whatever you're needing out while it's still frozen - leave the rest in the freezer. I'd hesitate about leaving it in a can in the fridge or freezer, in case the can started to rust.
Oh.. and.. a little spoonful tastes rather nice straight from the freezer!

If con milk starts to form crystals on top just pop the tin intovery hot/boilingwater for a few mins until back to normal, works a treat every time.

It will never go off...sugar is a preservative but if it forms crystals do as Mercury says.
