Do you like rice pudding but hate all the mussin and fussin involved with making it????  Well then this recipe is for you.  All you need is a crockpot, a spoon, and the ingredients.  Sounds easy huh?

So lets get started, first lets gather up what we shall need:
These ingredients can be cut in half if you have a smaller crock pot(I have a small 1.5 quart I make mine in)
EQUIPMENT:
Crock Pot, at least 2.5 quart
Measuring cup
Measuring Spoons

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped, dried apricots (optional)
1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
3 Tbsp. cold margarine(I used Squeeze butter because that is all I had on hand)
1 cup sugar
1 cup uncooked rice
2 qts. (8 cups) vanilla soy milk(I have also used homemade Rice Milk...RICE MILK RECIPE and homemade Oat Milk, if lends a slightly different taste, ALL GOOD)





OK have you gathered everything???
Good now lets start.................












Step 1: Pour milk into Crock Pot












Step 2: Add Rice
















Step 3: Add salt












Step 4: Add sugar












Step 5: Add Cinnamon












Step 6: Add vanilla













Step 7: Add butter









Step 8: Add dried apricots (Sorry no pic, family doesn't like dried apricots)
Step 9: Add dried cranberries or cherries(Sorry again about no pic, family doesn't like dried cranberries or cherries)




Step 10: Stir well 











Step 11: Cover Crock Pot  













Step 12: Cook on HIGH for 1.5 to 3 hours or until desired thickness is achieved, stirring every hour.















Step 13:  After cooking you can either serve warm or refrigerate until cold. We like our cold so into the fridge went the Crock Pot.
