California Farm Agave or Sugar Condensed Milk

This is a no sugar agave recipe to make fresh condensed milk with milk powder. Agave syrup is one and a half times sweeter than sugar, so I use two teaspoons of agave instead of a tablespoon of cane sugar ( 1 tablespoon is 3 teaspoons ).
I have also listed a Turkish cookpad recipe to make your own condensed milk from fresh milk. No hard boil. Tastes better than canned. We use condensed milk to make ice cream and frozen yoghurt desserts, and chocolate truffels.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
