DESSERTS
RICE PUDDING
3 cups cooked rice
(I prefer brown, but medium/short grain white also
works) - use less
if you like a creamier pudding
1 cup seeded dates
1/2 cup raisins
1 quart low fat vanilla soy milk
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and/or 1 teaspoon cinnamon
(optional)
chopped fresh fruit
such as peeled apple or peaches
diced dried apricots, etc.
put everything into a large, heavy pot,
cook on low, stirring almost
constantly.
After it begins to simmer,
keep on a low simmer,
stirring for
10 full minutes.
Remove from heat.
Serve room temp or chilled.
If you like it creamier, use 2 cups of rice.
