Low Country Rice Pudding

[donna]

Rice Pudding has always been one of my favorites. This recipe is from "Confederate Home Cooking" by Patricia B. Mitchell.

Low Country Rice Pudding

1 1/4 cup milk
2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons honey
dash salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup raisins

Heat milk in a medium-sized saucepan. Add remaining ingredients, stirring well. Cook, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon into an attractive serving bowl and chill.

Carolina Gold is a beautiful rice! Yes, a little pricey but if you can afford it, that's the one for pudding and a lot else. LOVE rice pudding - major comfort food. I use lactose-free milk for puddings - but it does give just a slightly sweeter taste.

Do you always prepare rice pudding with already cooked rice? Here we just heat the milk, put the uncooked rice in and let it simmer for about 40 minutes. We cook the rice in the milk and add a little more milk if necessary but it takes twice the time you need ...
Raisins in rice pudding sounds great, I'll have to try that!
I only know either a sugar/cinnamon mix and brown butter on top or applesauce or canned fruit to go with your "Milchreis", as we call it.

My mother-in-law does it that way - she's Pennsylvania Dutch. She puts more raisins in than 1/2 cup, too. (She puts raisins in the brownies, too - very surprising!)

Rice Pudding always reminds me of Sundays at Grandmother's house. If she didn't make rice pudding, then it was likely she made bread pudding. We always looked forward to either.
