1/2-2/3 Cu Unrefined sugar Organic cane sugar, coconut sugar, honey (use the lesser amount down to 1/3 cup)
3 Tablespoons
1 Teaspoons
Directions
Instructions
Mix sugar and milk together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stirring often, bring to a low simmer over medium-low heat. As soon as steam starts lifting off the milk, lower the heat even further, and when the sugar is entirely dissolved, put the heat as low as it can be set.
Reduce the quantity of product in the pot (which is now about 1 3/4 cups) by approximately half. It takes about 2 hours at very low heat to reduce to one cup of product. Watch carefully and stir often.
Once reduced to about 12 oz, whisk in the butter and vanilla. The recipe is equivalent to just less than one whole can of brand name sweetened condensed milk. (One can = 14 ounces, which is 2 ounces shy of 2 cups. by weight, oops! The can is equal to 1 1/4 cups liquid. Substitute tables for homemade condensed milk vary from 1 1/4 cups all the way to 2 cups. Use your judgment!)
Notes
Allow the mixture to cool before using.
