Ingredients

gold rice)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup raisins
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Fruit Sauce, recipe follows

Instructions

Put the rice in the top of a double boiler set over
simmering water. Add the salt and 3 cups of boiling water. Cover and cook until
the rice is tender, about 30 minutes.

Stir in the condensed milk, butter, and raisins. Cook, stirring frequently, over
simmering water until the pudding thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla and nutmeg. Spoon the pudding
into individual custard cups and refrigerate until ready to serve. Invert puddings
onto chilled plates and serve with fruit sauce.

Combine the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch in the top of a double boiler.
Cook the mixture over simmering water until it thickens.
