Ingredients

1/2 cup golden raisins
1 cup boiling water
1/3 cup slivered almonds
3 1/2 cups cooked medium or long-grain rice, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch salt
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon ground fennel seeds

Directions

In a bowl, place the raisins and cover with the water. Let sit until plumped, 5 minutes. Drain.

In a skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until golden and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

In a large saucepan, combine the rice, milk, cream, sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring, over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a low simmer and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 30 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking, until a spoon is just able to stand up in the pudding, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins, almonds, and remaining ingredients.

Help?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

From all the wonderful reviews it sounds like the only thing wrong with the recipe is me! For some reason I can NOT get the... pudding to set. It's very frustrating, and the vanilla kind of makes me sick (perhaps I'm adding it too soon?) Any tips from anyone?Read more

Good Pudding
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was very easy and tasted so good - especially when just made - even before the raisins, nuts and other ingredients were... added - but definetly good after. Safe bet for a gathering.Read more

This was great and easy to make, and my guests loved it! I used left over Chinese take-out rice, omitted the fennel, and... soaked the raisins in a bit of Grand Marnier. Next time I order Chinese, I know what I'm making with the left over rice!Read more

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was just like grandma's after I doctored it a little to my families liking. I added a little nutmeg, a little... more sugar and actually put it in a casserold dish and put it in the oven so it was a little thicker.Read more

Great !
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my second attempt at rice pudding. The first one did not turn out the way I had hoped. It wasn't creamy but tasted... OK. This recipe was creamy and delicious. While cooking the pudding I also wasn't clear about when to stop cooking, I must say that a spoon DID NOT stand up in it like the recipe said.. however I stopped cooking it when it "looked" right. Remember that as it thickens as it cools. DELICIOUS!Read more
