Milnot questions
 

I understand that Milnot is some mixture of dairy and soy
(although I may be wrong about this -- would appreciate
more info). Is it more like evaporated milk or sweetened
condensed milk or something else? I have an old family
recipe that calls for Milnot and need to know what else
to use. But I would also like to know more about Milnot's
ingredients. Thanks.

I had not heard of it so I went to <www.milnot.com> and prowled around.
They don't make it easy for you to find out what their products are,
but eventually I found a list. Evaporated milk, no fat evap. milk, and
"dairy sweet," which is apparently sweetened condensed milk. I saw no
reference to soy anywhere I looked. Nor anything else to distinguish
their products, for that matter.

My guess is that your old family recipe is calling for evaporated milk.
That's their original product. -aem

Yes, I should have said that I went to their website and didn't
find much. I found the reference to soy in a Yahoo Biz site I found
when I googled Milnot. Apparently they also own Beech-Nut,
among other foods.

The recipe was for frosting to go on a peach cake.

1 stick margarine
2/3 cup Milnot
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup chopped nuts

Cook all but nuts in a saucepan for 10 minutes. Add nuts.

So evaporated milk rather than sweetened condensed milk
for the Milnot, do you think?

TIA

Yes, I would think so, since the recipes on their site use it in gravy
and soups. You wouldn't want sweetend condensed in those.
