Rice pudding is a classic, comforting Southern dessert. We make our version extra special by adding dried cherries and orange zest. You could easily substitute any other dried fruit for the cherries; cut larger fruit into pieces the size of dried cherries.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 orange, zested
Ground nutmeg, for garnish, optional
Instructions:
Put the rice in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Add milk, water, salt and rice. Cover and cook until the rice is tender. Stir in the condensed milk, cherries, and heavy cream. Cook over simmering water about 20 minutes or until the pudding thickens slightly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and orange zest. Spoon pudding into individual bowls and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve warm.
