There isn't a rice pudding that I haven't like. Wait, I take that back. On my honeymoon, we were visiting my new Grand-Mother-In-Law in England and because she heard I like rice pudding so much, she made it for dessert. Only problem was that she made it with milk in a tin... not the sweetened kind, but I think it's called evaporated milk. It was horrible... but I choked down every spoonful. She had gone to so much trouble, I didn't have the heart to tell her that I didn't like it.

That was about 30 years ago and I still think about her... such a sweetheart! :) Good heavens... 30 years ago??

Basic Rice Pudding 

2 1/2 cups of 2% milk
1/3 cup of long or short grain white rice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar (loosely packed)
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup raisins

1. Combine the milk, a pinch of salt and the rice in medium sized pot and bring to a boil. The minute this happens, reduce the heat to low and continue simmering until the rice is tender. The rice has a tendency to stick to the bottom, so stir every couple of minutes to prevent it from happening.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the egg and the sugar and whisk together until foamy. Spoon in a cup of the unflavored rice pudding into the egg mixture bowl a little at a time. This prevents the egg from cooking prematurely and beat continuously.

3. Pour egg/rice mixture into the pot and cook over LOW heat until the pudding begins to thicken.

4. Stir in vanilla and raisins and if you are a fan of cinnamon, you can add it as well.

The Islands Rice Pudding 

1/2 cup white rice (long grain)
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cinnamon sticks
1 10-ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
ground cinnamon for garnish
ground nutmeg

Directions:

1. Over medium heat, cook the first 4 ingredients for 15 minutes. If you don't notice a change in the appearance of the rice, keep cooking.

2. Now add the evaporated milk and sugar. Yes, I know... evaporated milk isn't my favourite but that's what they use. (*Don't order Rice Pudding in Martinique if you don't like evaporated milk)

3. Turn down the heat and continue cooking until the texture becomes creamy.

4. At this point, you can remove the pot from the stove. Retrieve the cinnamon sticks and stir in the vanilla.

5. Spoon into a pretty serving bowl and chill until serving time.

6. Dust with cinnamon and nutmeg

Sweet Purple Rice 

I have to find me some of this rice. I have been making rice pudding with plain white rice, but this sounds very tempting.

"Purple Sticky Rice is native to Thailand, it is now also grown in California. It has a typical rice shape. Uncooked Purple Sticky Rice looks like burnt brown rice; it has a charred appearance. Purple Sticky Rice has a sweet flavor, sticky texture and cooks up to a beautiful, shiny, Indigo color. "

Rice Pudding... Not a Treat??

"When they didn't give him boiled mutton, they gave him rice pudding, pretending it was a treat. And saved the butcher."

Twittering About Rice Pudding 

*The most unusual rice pudding recipe that I have come across is pumpkin rice pudding... just can't get my head around that one.

*I remember a restaurant from the early days of my marriage and they had to make THE BEST rice pudding. I'm sure that it was made with buckets of whipping cream, but I have never tasted anything like it. Thank goodness I had a toddler to help me burn off the calories!!
