Rice Pudding with Cranberries

 

Recipe By :Anna Thomas

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Desserts

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups low fat milk (more if needed)

3/4 cup arborio rice

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. salt

1 pinch nutmeg

1 pinch cinnamon

1/2 cup dried cranberries

 

Combine all the ingredients in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, and bring to a

boil, stirring. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer, stirring often, for

about 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender-firm, and the liquid around it

thickening.

 

Anna likes to serve it hot, freshly made, just thick enough to hold a soft

shape. You can also chill it, but it will thicken more as it cools, so stir in

some additional milk or cream before serving to regain the moist texture.

NOTES : Nothing is more comforting or easier to do than a simple stove-top rice

pudding. This one you could do in your sleep. Dried cranberries, in place of the

usual raisins, make a slightly tart contrast to the sweet rice, but of course

you could use raisins if that's what you have around, and it would be fine.
