This is a rice pudding that is traditionally served at Christmas. A whole almond is put in and when served, whoever gets the almond will be married within the year! A Swedish recipe! Ingredients:
1 cup regular long grain rice |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon sugar |
4 cups half-and-half |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon butter |
cinnamon stick |
1 whole almonds |
warm cream |
cinnamon |
sugar |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan combine rice, butter and water and salt. Bring to boil and cook covered for 10 minutes, or until water is just absorbed.
2. Add half-and-half and cinnamon stick to above. Bring to boil, stirring continuously. Let simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes. The half-and-half should be almost absorbed.
3. The results should be creamy and tender, not mushy. Add the extra butter, and some cream for extra richness.
