PUMPKIN RICE PUDDING
This is one of my absolute favorite rice puddings. It tastes exactly like pumpkin pie and makes a really great breakfast dish! Try it with cooked brown rice and substitute dried cranberries for the raisins, if desired.

Steps:
- Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat and add the rice. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 7 minutes; drain well.
- Using the same saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the rice, vanilla bean, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the rice is very soft and absorbs most of the milk, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, discard the vanilla bean, and stir in the sugar.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
- Pour half of the rice pudding mixture into a large bowl. Add the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Spoon the pumpkin rice pudding into the prepared baking dish. Mix the raisins into the remaining rice pudding mixture, and spoon it over the pumpkin rice pudding.
- Bake, uncovered until firm, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice off and reserve the top 1 1/2 inches of the pumpkin. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. Rub the inside of the pumpkin with the butter, then rub with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Combine the rice, evaporated milk, molasses, vanilla, cinnamon, the remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Put the pumpkin in a baking dish and fill the pumpkin with the rice mixture. Cover with the pumpkin top and add 1 inch of boiling water to the baking dish. Cover loosely with foil and bake until the pumpkin is tender and the rice pudding is thick, about 2 hours. Scrape the pumpkin flesh and stir into the rice pudding; sprinkle with brown sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Bring the water to a boil in an ovenproof 4-quart saucepan. Stir in the rice and cover. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is nearly cooked, about 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- While the rice is still hot, add the pumpkin mixture to the saucepan and stir well to combine. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake until the liquid has reduced by about a third and the mixture is foamy and bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Transfer to a large bowl, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. The pudding will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice. Short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for this recipe because it absorbs the liquid and becomes creamy.
- Use fresh pumpkin. Fresh pumpkin has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned pumpkin, but be sure to drain it well.
- Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Stir the rice frequently. Stirring the rice frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to release the starch, which will make the pudding creamy.
- Let the pudding cool before serving. The pudding will thicken as it cools. If you serve it too soon, it will be too runny.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin rice pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for fall. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it plain or with spices, creamy or thick, pumpkin rice pudding is a surefire hit.
