Subject: Substitute for sweetened condensed milk

The following is on my web page, along with other substitutions.  I haven't
tried it yet since our kitchen's been under construction for an eternity,
but if anyone else tries it out, please let me know how it worked!

<li> For <b>condensed or evaporated milk</b> one reader suggests using Jello
"cookable" vanilla pudding mix with soy milk to substitute
in recipes for evaporated or condensed milk.  She says, "It works
particurlarly well in pumpkin pie.  It would probably also work in fudge
sauce -- just use a receipe based on evaporated or condensed milk.  I
add 3 tablespoons of pudding mix to 3/4 cup of soy milk to get the
equivalent of 3/4 cup of the other milks."
