I just have a quick question about sweetened condensed milk and storage.
I use it in a recipe that calls for NO cooking, so I take straight out of the can and mix it with all of the other ingredients. At this point does it need to be refrigerated, or will it be ok room temp for a few days? I want to be able to send the mix to friends and family in the mail, but if it needs to be refrigerated this is obviously not possible, not easily anyways.
my other question is, is there a certain temp I could heat the condensed milk to before using (to kill germs), so that it will be safe at room temp?
thanks!
