SOUR CHERRY RICE PUDDING



SOUR CHERRY RICE PUDDING image

Categories     Fruit

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
3/4 cup Arborio rice, rinsed and drained
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
Pinch salt
1/2 cup cherry juice
1 cup dried cherries
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Combine water, rice and evaporated milk in a 2- to 3- quart Crockpot. In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and milk; cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute or until bubbles appear around the edges and the sugar has dissolved. Stir into Crockpot with salt. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, bring cherry juice to a boil and pour over cherries in a small bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Drain, reserving the juice. After cooking the rice 4 1/2 hours, stir in the cherries, 3 Tbsp. cherry juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cover and cook on LOW for 20 minutes more, then turn the cooker off, slide the lid open so it is partially covered and allow to sit an additional 30 minutes. Scoop into a bowl, cover and refrigerate. (To clarify, the whole cooking and sitting amount of time is just under 5 1/2 hours).

Tips:

  • Use fresh sour cherries: Fresh sour cherries have a tart and slightly bitter flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the rice pudding. If you can't find fresh sour cherries, you can use frozen or dried cherries instead.
  • Pit the cherries before using them: Pitting the cherries before using them will help to remove the pits and stems, which can be a choking hazard. You can use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to pit the cherries.
  • Cook the rice pudding until it is creamy and thick: The rice pudding should be cooked until it is creamy and thick, but not too thick. If the rice pudding is too thick, it will be difficult to eat. If the rice pudding is too thin, it will be runny and watery.
  • Let the rice pudding cool before serving: The rice pudding should be allowed to cool before serving. This will help the rice pudding to set and thicken. You can serve the rice pudding warm or cold.
  • Serve the rice pudding with your favorite toppings: The rice pudding can be served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or whipped cream. You can also serve the rice pudding with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Sour cherry rice pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart and slightly bitter flavor of the sour cherries pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the rice pudding, and the creamy and thick texture is sure to please everyone. Whether you serve it warm or cold, with your favorite toppings or not, sour cherry rice pudding is a surefire hit.
