DANISH CHRISTMAS RICE PUDDING WITH ALMONDS AND WARM CHERRY SAUCE
Danish Christmas rice pudding with warm cherry sauce or Risalamande is traditionally served on Christmas Eve. Whoever finds the hidden almond receives a small gift. I like this recipe because it is cooked entirely on the stove top and cooks in one hour, rather than in the oven for two hours or more. Can be made in advance and refrigerated until serving time. The Danes often buy a store bought cherry sauce, but I've included a recipe for home-made. :) Adapted from an online source.

Steps:
- Split half of the vanilla pod length ways, scrape out the seeds.
- Place the milk and vanilla in a heavy-bottomed pan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat. Add the rice gradually, stirring constantly.
- Increase the heat and bring to a boil again.
- When the milk boils, reduce the heat, cover and simmer on a very low heat for about 1 hour or until the rice is cooked. Stir from time to time, making sure that the rice doesn't stick too much to the bottom.
- Leave to cool completely.
- Whip the cream together with sugar. Fold the whipped cream and almonds into the rice. You can add more sugar or more almonds if you wish. Serve with warm cherry sauce.
- Now make the cherry sauce. Place the cherries in a medium saucepan. Add sugar and 1 1/2 cups water. Add the vanilla pod. Simmer until the cherries are tender.
- Combine the potato starch with 2 tablespoons cold water.
- Bring the cherries to a boil. Remove the vanilla pod from the pot. Reduce the heat, and , stirring constantly, slowly pour the water with the starch. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in the lemon juice and serve warm over the rice pudding. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf, if desired.
- * I used frozen sour cherries in this recipe, but regular sweet cherries should work as well.
DANISH RICE PUDDING WITH DRIED CHERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Cook the rice, milk, and sugar in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until the rice is tender and the milk is absorbed, 30-40 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract, almonds, and sherry. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the pudding into a bowl and chill for at least 1 hour. Whip the cream in an electric mixer on high speed (or by hand) until soft peaks form and then get a little firmer, and fold into the chilled pudding. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with warm or cold cherry sauce.
- Dried Cherry Sauce
- Place the cherries in a small saucepan with the wine, 1/2 cup water, and the sugar or jelly. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the cherries are tender and the juice is syrupy (approximately 10 minutes).

DANISH RICE PUDDING
This recipe came to me from my husbands family. It was their custom and ours to hide a white nut in the pudding and whomever found the nut received a gift. Usually a box of chocolates for the kids or a bottle of wine for the adults. The game was to keep the nut hidden in your mouth until all the pudding was consumed.

DANISH RICE PUDDING W/RASPBERRY SAUCE (RIS A LA MANDE)
This is the traditional Danish Christmas dessert, served on Dec 24 before we walk around the Christmas tree and sing carols. The texture of the rice pudding is somewhat coarse due to the chopped up almonds. A whole blanched almond is placed in the dish and whoever gets this almond wins the almond present. This game is loved by young and old with everybody guessing who has the almond. Usually it is not revealed until all of the dish is gone. The dish can of course be served any time throughout the year but you will be hard pressed to find it on any other date if in Denmark. I blanch the almonds and chop by knife; freshly blanched almonds have a fresher flavour I find.

Steps:
- Bring milk to a boil slowly in a large pot.
- Add rice, keep simmering until rice is tender, stir every 3 min or so to prevent rice and/or milk burning at the bottom. This step takes approx 45 minute While the rice is simmering you can make the raspberry sauce and chop the almonds.
- When rice is firm remove from heat and let cool. When cool add vanilla sugar, sugar and almonds.
- Fold in whipped cream.
- Chill and serve with warm raspberry sauce.
- SAUCE:.
- In medium sauce pan place frozen raspberries and 2 tbsp of water, heat until thawed, add sugar and stir. Let simmer for approx 3-5 minute.
- Mix cornstarch with water and add to the sauce to thicken. This step can be omitted if you want a more natural and thinner sauce.
- TIP- you can also serve this dish with a strawberry sauce or a mix of raspberry and strawberry. I prefer the raspberry sauce as it adds a bit of tartness to an otherwise sweet dish. Traditionally the dish is served with a cherry sauce, our family never did though instead preferring the raspberry or strawberry sauce.

DANISH CHRISTMAS RICE PUDDING
My mom and grandma use to make this every Christmas or special holiday, but it had to be extra special. This is a great dessert that keeps those great memories close by. This is an old recipe so keep in mind that not everything is exact. Use your own discretion when baking. 1/2 cup of packed rasins can be added to this dish, but I prefer it plain and served warm with whipped cream.

RISALAMANDE (DANISH RICE PUDDING)
I was staying with friends during Christmas several years ago. They also had some friends from Denmark who came to stay for the holidays. They brought a special rice and made this dessert. I fell in love with it. Of course I couldn't find their rice, but thought that Arborio rice would work, since the Danish rice looked...

Steps:
- 1. Bring milk to a boil slowly in a large pot.
- 2. Add rice, keep simmering until rice is tender, stirring every 3-4 minutes to prevent rice or milk from burning at the bottom. This takes 45 minutes to an hour.
- 3. When rice is firm, remove from the heat and let cool. All the milk should be absorbed into the rice when it is done. When cool, add the sugar, vanilla and almonds, and mix in.
- 4. Fold in whipped cream. Chill and serve with raspberry sauce.
- 5. While the rice is simmering, you can make the raspberry sauce. In a medium saucepan place the frozen raspberries and water, heat until thawed, add 1/2 cup of the sugar and stir. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- 6. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of sugar and add to the sauce to thicken. This step can be omitted if you want a more natural and thinner sauce.
- 7. TIP: You can also serve with a strawberry sauce or a cherry sauce. My new Danish friend made it with the raspberry sauce, but I have read that a cherry sauce is more traditional. I haven't tried that, but I am going to next time I make it. I have also thought about doing a strawberry/raspberry mix for the sauce.
