EVAPORATED MILK
The recipe asks for Evaporated Milk, what is it?
Evaporated milk is exactly that, milk that has had 60% of the liquid evaporated (cooked) from it. The milk is then pasteurized by heating, giving it a light caramel appearance.
You can find cans of Evaporated (condensed) Milk in the baking aisle of your grocery.
You can add equal amounts of water to evaporated milk to replace regular milk in a recipe.
Once you open the can to use the evaporated milk, you can store covered tightly in the refrigerator for no longer than a week.
Evaporated Milk cannot be interchanged nor should be confused with Sweetened Condensed Milk.

can you freeze evaporated milk?
Evaporated milk can be frozen, but it is not recommended. As the milk thaws it will separate. It will also pick up the flavors of anything around it very easily so it will not maintain it's fresh flavor.
