LEMON RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Pour the rice into a medium saucepan (nonstick works well). Add the milk, cream, butter, salt and 2 cups of water and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring twice as it cooks, until all the liquid is absorbed and the mixture is creamy, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and lemon zest and juice and stir. Return to the heat and cook for 5 more minutes, then turn off the heat again. Mix in the egg, stirring constantly.
• Let the mixture sit in the pan for an additional couple of minutes, then serve it nice and warm with some grated lemon zest over the top.

CRANBERRY, MAPLE & PECAN PUDDING

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the pudding into a big bowl and stir together until well mixed. Don't be put off by the consistency of the mixture - it is quite wet. Lightly oil a 1.5 litre pudding basin. Tip the mixture into this and press down. Make a cover for the pudding basin using a double layer each of oiled greaseproof paper and aluminium foil. Make a pleat in the middle of these sheets to allow for expansion of the pudding. Press it over the top of the pudding basin and secure it well with a double piece of string. Use a little extra string to make a handle for ease of lifting in and out of the boiling water.
• Cook the pudding in a large pan with a well-fitting lid. There should be enough boiling water to come two-thirds up the sides of the basin at all times - so keep an eye on it. Cook the pudding for 3 hrs.
• To make the topping, cook the cranberries in the maple syrup until they burst open and become syrupy. Once the pudding is cooked, remove the cover and carefully tip it onto a large serving plate. Spoon the hot cranberry and maple syrup over the top and serve straight away.
