My heritage is Swedish and this recipe is known among Swedes as grut . My Grandma Anna would make it every Christmas Eve, and we would eat it with cream poured over. Grandma always put a cinnamon stick and one almond in the rice before serving. Whoever found the almond was supposed to get married next, according to tradition. Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups uncooked long grain rice |
2 cups water |
4 cups milk |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
sliced almonds and ground cinnamon, optional |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the rice and water. Simmer for 10 minutes; add milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 60-70 minutes or until rice is tender. Add sugar, salt and butter; mix well. Spoon into small bowls or dessert dishes. Garnish with almonds and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
