Rice Pudding
This pudding will almost caramelize and become a pale golden color. It is just terrific.
- 1 cup long-grain rice rinsed and drained well
- 1½ quarts milk
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- dash nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup raisins optional
Mix all ingredients and place in a 3-quart covered saucepan.
Bring to a simmer on top of the stove and then place, covered, in a 300° F. oven. Bake without disturbing or stirring for 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Note: A 2½-quart baking dish is NOT big enough to hold this when baking it in the oven!
Note: This can also be prepared in a slow cooker! Simply combine all ingredients in the bowl of a 2½-quart or larger slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.
