Rum Raisin Rice Pudding Recipes

RUM RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Wash rice under cold running water until water runs clear and drain well. Bring milk to a boil with cinnamon sticks, add rice, return to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook 12-15 minutes or until just barely soft throughout, stirring occasionally. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla bean and continue to simmer very slowly covered for 10-15 additional minutes or until rice is plump and tender and sauce is the consistency of heavy cream. Chill in a bowl over ice water to stop cooking.
• Place rum and raisins in a heavy bottomed pot and simmer over low heat until raisins have plumped and rum is almost gone. Set aside to cool and fold into chilled rice pudding. Serve icy cold with a dusting of cinnamon atop.

RUM-RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In small non-stick saucepan, combine the raisins and rum and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and let steep while you make the pudding.
• In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the milk, rice, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, salt, cinnamon, 1 cup of the half-and-half. Cook over medium heat until the milk mixture comes to a gentle boil. Stir the mixture, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and much of the liquid is absorbed.
• In a small bowl, place the cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half until smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks. Whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot rice mixture into the yolk mixture. Return this mixture to the pudding in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture just starts to bubble. Continue to cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the vanilla to the rum-raisin mixture, and stir the mixture into the rice pudding. Divide the pudding among 6 sundae glasses, cover with plastic wrap (unless you want a skin to form), pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding, and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until well chilled.

• Combine the rice and salt with 1-1/2 cups water in a medium heavy-bottomed stainless steel saucepan.
• Bring it to a boil, stir once, and simmer, covered on the lowest heat for 8-0 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed.(If your stove is very hot, pull the pan halfway off the burner).
• Stir in 4 cups of half-and-half and sugar and bring to a boil.
• Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until the rice is very soft.
• Stir often, particularly toward the end.
• Slowly stir in the beaten egg and continue to cook for 1 minute.
• Off the heat, add the remaining cup of half and half, the vanilla, and then the raisins with any remaining rum; stir well.
• Top with almonds, if desired.
• Pour into a bowl, and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
• Serve warm or chilled.
