Hi does anyone know how long you can keep the dressing in the fridge for please? I mix condensed milk, vinegar and a little mustard together. So yummy on salad but have no idea how long it will stay ok in the fridge.

Reassured anything with vinegar in its a natural preservative. I make mine up and leave it in the fridge for ages especially during the winter months. Believe me it will keep for a good 12 months or more.

I love it and use a lot of it this time of the year so never around for long but I find it's a good keeper.

Seems to last forever. Some I have in the fridge I made last summer. I think with the high content of sugar/vinegar it is possibly to keep for some time.

Condensed milk? ! It's sugar! 56grams per 100mls. That's about 14 teaspoons. That must be so nasty. never mind the unhealthy.
How about a dressing instead?

Some of the dressings in the supermarket are loaded with sugar as well or fat and god knows what other chemicals. At least if i make it at home I have an idea of what is in it and I only have a spoon on my salad.

The condensed milk recipe is one from long long ago, my mum used to make it, it can be diluted a bit as well by adding milk still seems to keep forever.

Adding malt vinegar to condensed milk. I don't measure the vinegar, just pour in what I think is about right lol

That was the only kind of salad dressing we knew in the 1950s & 60s.

Pour condensed milk into a container put about third of the amount of malt vinegar to condensed milk and a tablespoon of mustard which is optional. Mix together. Put in fridge easy and very yummy. Just add malt vinegar to taste ie add more if too sweet.

I keep mine for months. If it gets too thick from standing put a little more vinegar in. The best dressing out.

Milk is good for thinning it just before use, if needed. Doesn't make it too acidic.

I've been adding a small amount of curry powder along with the mustard and vinegar. I don't have actual amounts of mustard, curry powder and vinegar do it all by taste test. The family really like it.

I made my Mum's boiled salad dressing yesterday. Was reading this thread and decided to make it instead of the condensed milk one. Doubled the recipe and it keeps for ages. 2 tab butter,, 4 tab sugar, creamed together add 1 tsp mixed mustard, 1/2 tsp salt and then add in 2 eggs then gradually add in a cup of malt vinear slowly while bringing to the boil, stirring all the time. Once boiled and thickened let cool and keep in lidded jar in fridge. An oldie but a goodie To make a lovely dressing for prawns add cream and paprika and some lemon juice.

Caspm if you mean the boiled dressing I have included the recipe in my post above. It is quick and easy to cook and we always boiled it. Cheers
