Artifact Overview

In 1899, Elbridge Amos Stuart developed his evaporated milk product -- his alternative to fresh milk, which was quick to sour. He prided himself on producing the highest quality of milk, under the name Carnation Evaporated Milk Company. Although similar to condensed milk, evaporated milk does not contain sugar, allowing for a broader range of uses. This booklet provides uses for Carnation milk in desserts.
