I have a good rice pudding recipe.

Honestly, I forgot all about having posted this. The next day my hubby came home from work early with a toothache so the day was filled with dentist visits and medicine runs.

I am still craving it so maybe I'll try to make it tomorrow. The vanilla sauce is so good I have to remind myself not to just drink it out of the container.

I almost started my own thread and then thought to do a search for rice pudding before I posted my recipe. This is one I got from my mom. I am going to try to make it tomorrow. I think I'm the only one in the house that likes it; could be a texture issue. But for me it's perfect comfort food.

The vanilla sauce (recipe follows) makes this otherwise fairly bland dessert come to life.

Rice Pudding

Ingredients:

2 c milk
1 1/2 c cooked rice
1 1/2 T melted butter
1/2 c sugar
1/3 t salt

Hot Vanilla Sauce

1 c sugar

In a pot, combine sugar and cornstarch. Slowly stir in water. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Stir in butter, vanilla, and nutmeg. Makes 2 cups vanilla sauce.

The combination of warmed syrup over cold rice pudding is one of my favorite childhood memories.

Scott......thanks for all the suggestions of where to find it.
Sometimes I've even found them at TJ MAXX and Tuesday Morning.
Only suggested the 'Liquor Store' because......it seems every town has one

At the Liquor store.....since I don't drink Alcohol..I'm always looking for sub's.
But there are not always sub for everything though.
Ad if you are COOKING with alcohol, it mostly dissipates.
I like ''non-alcoholic Mocha Mud Slide'' in my coffee once in a while...yummo.

Scott..guess you and I will post ''rice pudding recipe'' since Jacqueline hasn't gotten back to us here yet.

Irish Cream Rice Pudding

1 quart whole milk
1 cup Arborio rice (An Italian white risotto rice that stays firm when cooked) *
2/3 cup sugar

3/4 cup dried currants, plumped in warm water and drained *
1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur (can use a non-alcoholic)
Butter cookies, for serving

Preheat the oven to 300°. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups milk to a simmer. Add the rice and sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Spread the mixture in the prepared dish, cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Stir and continue baking until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes more.

Remove from the oven and stir in the remaining 1 cup milk and the currants; let cool.

Divide the pudding among 6 whiskey glasses and top with Irish cream. Serve with the cookies.

*'currants'...variety of small/dark berries, dried; currants, a smaller version of the raisin, delicious in cakes, jams and other dishes
