Swedish Rice Porridge image

This recipe comes courtesy of one the American Girls cookbooks. Specifically it comes from the Kirsten one and so is Swedish themed. Several of these recipes from all of the books are all time favorites of mine so I will post them here. Rice porridge, known as "Skansk grot" in Sweden, made pioneer settlers feel at home in America. This is a wonderful comfort food for a sickie or just for a rainy day.
