Dairy Free Sweetened Condensed Milk -- about 2 hours -- yields 2C

Description
Gluten and Dairy free living can be difficult - particularly when you need things like sweetened condensed milk.  I tried sweetening evaporated goat's milk... I don't recommend trying to sweeten evaporated goat's milk... it wasn't good (you might have guessed that, but I'm stubborn and insist on trying things that sound gross with the hopes that they will actually be yummy - this sometimes works out great for me... this wasn't one of those times).  

The next try was with homemade almond milk, which makes for a lovely base - as would soy milk, or another nut milk.  The most important part is getting it down to the right consistency, which is what takes most of the time.  While I haven't tried this as a crock-pot recipe, it would likely be a GREAT way to cook it down overnight without the fuss of stirring more than every few hours (or once before bed, and again in the morning).

Ingredients
3 1/2 c fresh almond milk
2C honey
1t Vanilla
1 pinch salt

Directions
Combine ingredients in a sauce pan.
Boil uncovered until 2C

Notes:  
Consider marking or taking mental note of where 2C is on the pot you are using so you don't have to pour the entire contents into a measuring glass and then back into the pot when it's still not done yet (yes, this comes from experience).
