OLD FASHIONED CREAMY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove saucepan from heat; stir butter and vanilla extract into the pudding.

Steps:

• Place milk, honey, and salt into medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat (do not let it boil). Stir in the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to a simmer, stir occasionally, until rice is soft and milk is almost absorbed - about 30 minutes.
• Add apples and raisins. Continue to simmer until apples have softened and pudding is quite thick, about 5 to10 minutes more. Watch so it doesn't stick to the bottom! Just before serving, stir in the butter. Serve plain or drizzled with additional honey or butter, as desired.
