Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

reviews & comments
Although I never measure, I've been making my Tarter Sauce this way forever. I sometimes use half Mayo & half Greek Yogurt. Delicious either way.
I would prefer to use half the amount of mayo and substitute sour cream for the rest. Then double the minced pickle, lemon juice, and half again as many capers... once those adjustments were made it was delicious!
