Apple Rum Pecan Maple Rice Pudding Recipes

MAPLE PECAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the raisins and bourbon. Set aside.
• 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 to 9 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 the sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the rice is very soft and the pudding is thick. 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, maple syrup, maple flavoring, and the raisins with any remaining bourbon. Stir well. Pour into a bowl, and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Cool slightly, add the pecans, and serve warm or chilled. Drizzle each serving with extra maple syrup, if desired.

APPLE RUM PECAN MAPLE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. In good sturdy saucepan, mix milk, rice, ⅔ cup sugar, and salt. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce to low, cover; simmer, stirring occasionally 20 minutes. Add Apple; cook, covered, 20 minutes, until tender.
• 2. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat remaining ⅓ cup sugar and 2 Tablespoons water over high heat. Boil until light amber in color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• 3. Line baking sheet with foil; grease foil well. Spread pecans out over foil. Pour amber sugar mixture over pecans. Let cool; break or chop into small pieces.
• 4. In a mixing bowl, whisk maple syrup, and eggs. Stir in rum, allspice, and nutmeg into rice mixture. Whisk small amount of rice mixture into maple syrup mixture. Stir maple syrup mixture back into rice mixture; cook until thickened (160℉), about 3 minutes. Divide among 8 cups, top with sugared pecans.
• 5. **Note: The alcohol from the rum will boil off, so letting children eat pudding need not be a concern. However, should you not want to use alcohol for any reason, use 3 tablespoons water, and 1 to 1½ tsp. Rum extract (amount depends on the strength of your flavoring or extract; taste to suit) to replace golden rum.
