In the early 50s, we were poor. Not destitute but money was scarce. War surplus commodities were the order of the day. Along with powdered milk, powdered eggs, flour and sugar we would occasionally get evaporated milk and sweetened, condensed milk. That was the best. We opened the condensed milk can, put it in a pan of water and just let it cook in the boiling water until it was carmel. There was never any left.
