CANADIAN MAPLE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
• Stir in 1 3/4 cups of the milk, sugar and maple flavoring, bring to a boil, and let simmer over medium heat until thick and creamy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and butter. Cook stirring over low heat for another 5 minutes.

MAPLE PECAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In small sauce pan over medium heat, bring rice, water and salt to boil. Reduce to low boil, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat. While rice is cooking, place milk and 1/2 cup pecans in small sauce pan. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain milk mixture into medium bowl. Discard cooked pecans. Stir in maple syrup. Add eggs and egg yolk, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until blended. Stir cooked rice into milk mixture. Place in 6 cup greased soufflé dish. Place soufflé dish in a large roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with hot water until about half way up the soufflé dish. Bake in preheated oven until soufflé is set in the center and brown around the edges, about 1 hour. Remove soufflé dish from oven and water bath. Let cool at least 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream and sprinkled with remaining pecans.

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.

APPLE CIDER RICE PUDDING WITH CANDIED PECANS

Steps:

• Start the rice pudding: In a medium pot, combine the milk, cider, rice, brown sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stirring frequently, heat the mixture to a simmer. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and absorbs most of the liquid and the liquid becomes thick, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While the pudding cooks, make the candied pecan topping: In a medium pot, combine the granulated sugar with the cinnamon, 1/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Begin to heat over medium heat until the mixture melts, stirring gently occasionally.
• Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until light golden brown and boiling. Continue cooking, swirling frequently without stirring, until golden brown and caramelized. Add the pecans and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to glaze and coat the nuts fully. Continue cooking, tossing, until the mixture no longer appears liquid and the nuts become more difficult to stir, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the cream and vanilla, stirring well to combine.
• Pour onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to cool completely, 10 to 15 minutes, then coarsely chop.
• Finish the rice pudding: When the rice pudding has reached the appropriate doneness, turn the heat to low, and stir in the cream, butter, and vanilla. Cook until the mixture is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the rice pudding warm or pour it into a heatproof bowl, cover directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve cold. Serve dusted with cinnamon and topped with the coarsely chopped candied nuts.

PECAN & MAPLE SYRUP STICKY PUDDING

Steps:

• First make the topping. Put the butter, double cream and maple syrup together in a small pan and stir over a low heat until well mixed. Bring to the boil, simmer for 1 min, then pour into the base of a buttered 900ml pudding basin.
• Sift the flour into a bowl with the cinnamon and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat the butter with the sugar and maple syrup until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg a little at a time. Fold the dry ingredients into the creamed butter and egg mixture, adding the milk to give a soft dropping consistency. Stir in nuts and raisins.
• Spoon the mixture into the basin, then cover with greased greaseproof paper and foil, making a pleat in the centre of both. Tie securely with string.
• Steam the pudding for 1½ hrs, checking regularly to make sure that the pan doesn't boil dry. Turn out and serve with extra warmed maple syrup and a generous helping of double cream.
