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

2 tablespoons madras-style curry powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (40 ounce size) pineapple chunks in juice, drain but reserve juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
salt
2 medium onions, cut into 1" chunks
2 celery stalks, cut into 1" chunks
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2" strips
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2" strips
2 small seedless oranges, cut into thin rings with skin on
1 lemon, cut into thin rings with skin on
1 cup canned litchis, drained
1 cup preserved kumquats, drained
1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons cornstarch, MIXED WITH
1/4 cup water
directions
Put the chicken backs, necks, and giblets into a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the meat is falling off the bones. Strain and reserve the broth. If it is not very flavorful give it a little help with powdered bouillon.
Melt the oil and butter together in a large, heavy skillet or casserole. Add the curry powder and stir about until slightly singed. Add the next 8 ingredients and saute until the onions are soft but not yet browned.
Add the chicken and brown well on all side. Pour in the pineapple juice and reserved broth and simmer covered until the chicken is tender.
Add the sugar and vinegar and simmer for about 2 minutes. Taste. If you want a more distinct sweet and sour flavor add more sugar and vinegar at this time. Also add more cayenne if you want it hotter.
Add salt to taste. Add the pineapple chunks and all the remaining ingredients except cornstarch mixture, stir gently, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture; stir and simmer until sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
