Ingredients

3/4 cup/175 mL granulated sugar

1/2 cup/125 mL Arborio rice (see Tips, below)

1/4 cup/50 mL dried cherries (see Tips, below)

2 tbsp/25 mL ground almonds

1 tsp/5 mL grated lemon zest

Pinch salt

4 cups/1 L milk (see Tips, below)

2 eggs

1 tsp/5 mL almond extract

Toasted sliced almonds, optional

Whipped cream, optional

Directions

In greased slow cooker stoneware, mix together sugar, rice, cherries, almonds, lemon zest and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and almond extract, and stir into rice mixture. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours, until rice is tender and pudding is set. Serve warm or cover and chill. Garnish with toasted almonds and whipped cream, if desired.

TIPS

Long-grain white rice can be successfully used in this recipe, but the pudding will not be as creamy as one made with Arborio rice.

Use 1 cup (250 mL) fresh pitted cherries in place of the dried cherries, if desired. Or substitute an equal quantity of dried cranberries instead.

For a richer pudding, use half milk and half cream.
