Rice Pudding

Ingredients

3 cups milk 1 large stick cinnamon dash or two ground clove or nutmeg or four whole cloves or a quarter-nutmeg 1 cup rice 2 cups water 1/2 tsp salt peel of an orange or lemon 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup raisins and/or sultanas OR 1 cup chunked pineapple (optional) 2 tbsp dark or spiced rum (optional)

To Cook:

  • Heat milk, cinnamon, and clove/nutmeg in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until milk absorbes the flavor of the spices, about 15 minutes. Set aside. Do not boil.
  • Cook the rice. Combine rice, water, and salt in another pot and bring to a boil, stirring once or twice. Then place the citrus peel on top of the rice and turn down the heat to a breath of flame. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
  • Remove the citrus peel and strain the milk. Stir the milk into the cooked rice.
  • Add the sugar and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add raisins and rum, simmer another 10 minutes. If not adding raisins, cook for 10 minutes more anyway. Total simmering time should be about half an hour, maybe a little less.
  • Serve hot. If you are using pineapple, add it now, stirring in or dropping on top. If it is canned, strain before adding.
