DANISH RICE PUDDING WITH FRESH CHERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the almonds on a baking sheet, and cook in oven for 10 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
• Combine the rice and milk in a heavy-gauge saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Then, reduce heat to simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice absorbs milk.
• Remove rice from heat, and stir in sherry, sugar and almonds. Refrigerate.
• Meanwhile, place cherries and jelly in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove cherries to a bowl. Refrigerate.
• Cook remaining fruit liquid over high heat until it is reduced by half. Set aside to cool.
• Whip heavy cream until it develops firm peaks. Fold whipped cream, 1/3 at a time, into rice pudding.
• Assemble dessert in large wine goblets, with cherries on the bottom, then a layer of rice pudding and then some slivered almonds. Pour reduced fruit liquid over everything.
