evaporated milk substitute recipe

[luvmyvet]

I just tried a substitute recipe for evaporated milk in some pumpkin pies and we couldn't tell the difference, no alteration in taste or texture.

DH had just brought home some of those little cans of evap milk for about $1.09 ea and I am guessing here, but figure it cost me about 25cents to make it.
I did notice it was not as thick as the canned and will use a tad less water next time and see how that works, but I just added some extra time for the pies to cook.
I came here to give my results and thank you's and don't see the recipe posted or found under a search, sooo, who knows where I copied it from, I sure do that alot lately, lol

here it is for anyone interested,
