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.


1 bottle (750ml size) red wine
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks (three-inch)
3 whole cloves
2 lemon slices
Bring the sugar, spices, lemon, and water to a boil, then let this mixture steep for 30 minutes.
Add the wine and carefully reheat to just under the boiling point. Strain into mugs and serve hot.
NOTE: You can substitute extra wine or a fine apple brandy for the water. And many traditional recipes call for a dash of Angostura bitters, though I think it tastes fine without them.

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