Rum Raisin Pudding Recipes

RUM-RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In small non-stick saucepan, combine the raisins and rum and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and let steep while you make the pudding.
• In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the milk, rice, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, salt, cinnamon, 1 cup of the half-and-half. Cook over medium heat until the milk mixture comes to a gentle boil. Stir the mixture, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and much of the liquid is absorbed.
• In a small bowl, place the cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half until smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks. Whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot rice mixture into the yolk mixture. Return this mixture to the pudding in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture just starts to bubble. Continue to cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the vanilla to the rum-raisin mixture, and stir the mixture into the rice pudding. Divide the pudding among 6 sundae glasses, cover with plastic wrap (unless you want a skin to form), pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding, and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until well chilled.

RUM RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Wash rice under cold running water until water runs clear and drain well. Bring milk to a boil with cinnamon sticks, add rice, return to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook 12-15 minutes or until just barely soft throughout, stirring occasionally. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla bean and continue to simmer very slowly covered for 10-15 additional minutes or until rice is plump and tender and sauce is the consistency of heavy cream. Chill in a bowl over ice water to stop cooking.
• Place rum and raisins in a heavy bottomed pot and simmer over low heat until raisins have plumped and rum is almost gone. Set aside to cool and fold into chilled rice pudding. Serve icy cold with a dusting of cinnamon atop.
