It was an awesome recipe. I made it without the topping. Instead of putting 4 ounces of chocolate chips I put 2 ounces. It was perfect. Not too sweet. Nice and creamy.

This is a very tasty pudding.. But we had to make some changes because of diet restrictions.. The sauce is very good but if you have other cherry products you can make one from them. Keeps weel in fridg. for several days covered.. And if you want.. you can make it with sugar sub. Try it you will love it And I didn't think I would like rice pudding.

this was an interesting diversion from the typical rustic rice pudding i usually make. the orange peel was quite lovely in the pudding, but after adding the white chocolate, the pudding became too sweet. (however, i tasted the pudding right "before" adding the chocolate and loved it! i would suggest halving the amount of white chocolate for a touch a flavor w/o the extra sweetness. obviously did not use the cherry preserves as that would definitely be overkill.
