GLORIFIED PICNIC RICE

My ex-mother-in-law used to make this for holidays. I never did get her recipe. Years later I was at a potluck picnic when a friend showed up with this. The next day she gave me a copy of the recipe, and I have treasured it ever since.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup white rice
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained, reserving juice
2 eggs, beaten
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained

Steps:

Combine water and rice in a 3-quart saucepan. Bring to boil; simmer until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
Mix sugar and flour together in a bowl. Stir sugar mixture, pineapple juice, and beaten eggs together in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture has the consistency of pudding, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
