Cranberry-Orange Rice Pudding
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
1
cup long-grain rice*

1
tablespoon freshly grated orange peel

1-1/2
cups dried cranberries, coarsely chopped

1/2
cup orange juice

1
quart (4 cups) milk

1
can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

2/3
cup sugar

1/8
teaspoon salt



Preparation:
1.
Combine rice and orange peel in 3-quart saucepan; cook rice according to package directions.

2.
Meanwhile, combine cranberries and orange juice in saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 7 minutes or until juice is absorbed. Set aside.

3.
Add milk, evaporated milk, sugar and salt to cooked rice. Cook and stir over medium-low heat about 40 minutes or until slightly thickened.

4.
Stir cranberries into rice mixture. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until serving time.


Tip: A Chinese restaurant with take-out is never far away. If you don't have time to make long-cooking rice, or don't have parboiled rice in your cabinet, pick up cooked rice for take-out. For an even faster alternative, plump cranberries in orange juice, then add to 2 pounds of prepared rice pudding.
