This recipe does work but the cooking times and heat need to be revised. I was able to use this recipe after cooking the mixture for 20-30 min and by reducing the liquid to make it a thicker consistency. Then it was perfect. This does work, however it needs modifications to make it perfect.

Thickness is absolutely imperative to sweetened condensed (the operative word) milk. Genuine condensed milk had half of its liquid content rapidly evaporated in order to concentrate the milk solids significantly. Be aware that this recipe only provides for the sweetness of the canned sweetened, condensed milk, but does nothing to actually condense it. Hence, it will not work in recipes designed for sweetened condensed milk. This is nothing more than milk with sugar dissolved in it, and other than the sugar bears no resemblance to sweetened, condensed milk.

I am not sure what the consistency of Homemade Sweetened Condensed milk is supposed to be, but this did not look like the one out of the can. It was not thick at All! The flavor was spot on even tho it was the thin like canned milk is. Maybe this is good in a pinch. I wonder if the thickness is a crucial of a recipe? I will have to find out. Thank You for letting me experiment a little!!
