I have made this numerous times and used to have it as a kid, but lately when I make it, it goes runny after a few days which is something I have never had happen before - any ideas as to why this is happening?I haven't changed any ingredients or the levels.

are you buying the same brand of condensed milk? Maybe they've changed their recipe somehow??

I have had the same problem. I've used the same recipe since forever.but it now goes runny.I use the same condensed milk,with equal vinegar and milk. Be great if someonecould explain.

1 tin Highlander condensed milk, mustard powder (1/2 teaspoon) 1/2 C malt vinegar
Whisk all together and refrigerate.
Do Not use the lightHighlander condensed milk as it will be very runny!!

Eta make a Condensed Milk-Style Dressing in a 400ml plastic container now which we find quite nice.

The sweetened condenced milk is not the same as it was, a few years ago. Remember having to dig it out of the tin, you dont any longer. We no longer make it.
sweetened condensed milk 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of milk powder, 1 Tblsp butter, 3/4 cup of boiling water. This recipe has saved me a trip to the supermarket, a few times.
or
whole egg mayonnaise 1 whole egg juice of 1 lemon 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 150 mils of sunflower oil 150 mils of canola oil You will need a stick blender and a tall beaker to make this mayonnaise. Put the egg into the beaker first Put the other ingredients carefully on top of the egg, so as not to disturb the egg. Lower the stick blender in to the bottom without disturbing the ingredients. Pulse the blender, until the ingredients start to emulsify, tilt the blender to allow the oil to be incorporated.

1X4000 - that's the recipe I have always used, malt DYC vinegar, Nestle Sweetened Cond Milk (not the lite). It is a real mystery to me.

thanks for the other suggestions and recipes - might have to look at the ETA one.Runny mayonaise in a sandwich certainly isn't very easy to handle.

I just use condensed milk and vinegar, mixed to pouring constituency. It keeps for ages and thickens up in a jar in the fridge. When I need it, I take some of that and thin it with milk back to pouring . constituency. At that stage, I also add any other flavourings I want. It keeps in my fridge for over a year and is great for spreading or doing filled eggs etc.

it sure does keep well in the frig kay141 but mine goes runny in the frig now and it is so useless for some uses like spreading.Just not sure where it's all going wrong. Usually I have always had to thin it down before use, but not any longer (sigh)

The only condensed Milk to use is Highlander also be careful it is not the lite one. The Home Brand & other cheaper brands come from China or Singapore yuk

I made a batch in the late summer. There is still some in the fridge. A little vinegar is sitting on top but the rest is thick. It is just Highlander Condensed milk and vinegar. Apart from a whole tin of condensed milk, I can't give quantities as I add malt vinegar until I think it is right. I have found thatvinegars other than DYC are not so good.

As above - I have had failures too, but never with Highlander (not lite) condensed milk. All other brands fail and don't taste the same either.

I do a tin of condensed milk, 1/4 cup vinegar and dollop of mustard powder. No real measurements but it seems to stay thick for ages.... Best mayo ever though aye :)

Ummm have you tried the Best Food one? the dark blue and the light one? I like both but prefer the light blue light one as its a cheese flavour with no added cheese! mmmmm Thats my preference when buying one!
