Ingredients

  • 5 1/2 cups whole, low-fat or skim milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup long-grain white rice
  • 3/4 cup diced ( 1/2 inch) dried fruits (raisins, apricots, figs, cherries)
  • 1 cup yogurt or sour cream (optional)

Method

  • Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Add the rice, mix well, and bring the mixture back to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the rice is very soft.
  • (The mixture should still be soupy; if it is not, add enough additional milk to make it soupy.)
  • Add the dried fruits to the pudding, mix, and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
  • Spoon into six dessert dishes and serve, if desired, with 1 or 2 tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream on top.
