Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine rice and milk. Cook over medium heat 45 minutes or until rice is tender; set aside to cool.

- To make sauce: Heat cherries with juice. Dissolve cornstarch in a little water. Stir into cherries; gently stir over medium heat until thickened. Flavor with liquer, if desired. Serve rice pudding with hot cherry sauce.
- Interesting note: It was once traditional in Denmark to include 1 whole almond in the rice pudding. The person who found it would receive the prize-a marzipan pig.
ALMOND SPICE RICE PUDDING FROM LEFTOVER RICE
I just made up this recipe. I had a lot of leftover jasmine rice, and decided to try an experiment. My mom used to make rice pudding from leftovers all the time, but I added my own flavors for this one. The quantities are approximate, and you can modify according to your taste or according to the amount of leftover rice you have.

DANISH RICE PUDDING W/RASPBERRY SAUCE (RIS A LA MANDE)
This is the traditional Danish Christmas dessert, served on Dec 24 before we walk around the Christmas tree and sing carols. The texture of the rice pudding is somewhat coarse due to the chopped up almonds. A whole blanched almond is placed in the dish and whoever gets this almond wins the almond present. This game is loved by young and old with everybody guessing who has the almond. Usually it is not revealed until all of the dish is gone. The dish can of course be served any time throughout the year but you will be hard pressed to find it on any other date if in Denmark. I blanch the almonds and chop by knife; freshly blanched almonds have a fresher flavour I find.

Steps:
- Bring milk to a boil slowly in a large pot.
- Add rice, keep simmering until rice is tender, stir every 3 min or so to prevent rice and/or milk burning at the bottom. This step takes approx 45 minute While the rice is simmering you can make the raspberry sauce and chop the almonds.
- When rice is firm remove from heat and let cool. When cool add vanilla sugar, sugar and almonds.
- Fold in whipped cream.
- Chill and serve with warm raspberry sauce.
- SAUCE:.
- In medium sauce pan place frozen raspberries and 2 tbsp of water, heat until thawed, add sugar and stir. Let simmer for approx 3-5 minute.
- Mix cornstarch with water and add to the sauce to thicken. This step can be omitted if you want a more natural and thinner sauce.
- TIP- you can also serve this dish with a strawberry sauce or a mix of raspberry and strawberry. I prefer the raspberry sauce as it adds a bit of tartness to an otherwise sweet dish. Traditionally the dish is served with a cherry sauce, our family never did though instead preferring the raspberry or strawberry sauce.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose a medium-grain rice that is specifically meant for pudding, such as Arborio or Carnaroli.
- Soak the rice in milk overnight or for at least 4 hours. This will help to soften the rice and make it more creamy.
- Cook the rice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the almonds to the rice pudding halfway through the cooking process. This will give them time to soften and release their flavor.
- Sweeten the rice pudding to taste with sugar, honey, or maple syrup. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Serve the rice pudding warm or cold. It can be enjoyed on its own or topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
