CREAMY BROWN RICE PUDDING

Creamy Brown Rice Pudding image

This version of rice pudding uses brown rice, cinnamon, and almond extract to make a slightly nutty comfort dessert. My mother adds raisins during the last 15 minutes; she calls this 'Speckled Pup,' but I prefer my rice pudding without raisins.

Ingredients

4 cups water
2 cups uncooked brown rice
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sugar
1 (3 inch) piece cinnamon stick

Bring the water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Add the salt, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 50 minutes.
