Time 42m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons dark rum
3/4 cup white basmati rice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 cups half-and-half, divided
1/2 cup sugar
1 extra-large egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the raisins and rum. 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 sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until the rice is very soft. 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, and the raisins with any remaining rum. 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. Serve warm or chilled.

RUM RAISIN RICE PUDDING



RUM RAISIN RICE PUDDING image

Categories     Dessert     Casserole/Gratin     Winter

Number Of Ingredients 13

Rum Raisins
1 cup golden raisins
½ cup dark rum
¼ cup sugar
Rice Pudding
8 cups water
Salt
4 ounces short-grain rice (such as Japanese rice)
1¾ cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean--pod split and scraped, seeds reserved
½ cup sugar
2 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • 1. Make the raisins: In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the raisins with the rum and sugar. Add enough water to cover the raisins and cook until the raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside. 2. Make the pudding: In a large saucepan, combine the water with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Whisk in the rice and return to a simmer. Cook over medium heat until the rice is cooked through, about 14 minutes. Strain the rice into a colander, then return it to the same saucepan. Add the milk, the heavy cream and the vanilla bean pod and seeds, then bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the sugar with the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly whisk ½ cup of the hot rice mixture into the egg mixture to prevent the eggs from curdling. Add the yolks to the rice mixture and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and the cream coats the back of the spoon, about 6 minutes. 4. Fill a large bowl with ice. Pour the rice pudding into a separate bowl and place it on the ice to cool quickly. Remove the vanilla bean pod and discard. Once cool, divide the rice pudding among four bowls. Divide the rum raisins and their liquid among the bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum.
  • Soak the raisins in the rum for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the pudding mixture. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
  • If you don't have any rum on hand, you can substitute brandy or whiskey. However, rum is the traditional choice for rum raisin pudding.
  • You can use any type of bread for the pudding, but stale bread works best. This is because it will absorb more of the custard mixture and produce a more moist pudding.
  • If you don't have any stale bread, you can toast fresh bread and then let it cool before using it in the pudding.
  • Be sure to grease the baking dish before pouring in the pudding mixture. This will help to prevent the pudding from sticking to the dish.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil before baking the pudding. This will help to keep the pudding moist.
  • Serve the pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or custard sauce.

Conclusion:

Rum raisin pudding is a classic holiday dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is a simple and straightforward recipe to make, and it is always a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give rum raisin pudding a try.
