BAKED RICE PUDDING WITH APRICOTS
There are many ways to make rice pudding: on the stove, baked in the oven or a combination of the two. You can make the custard separate from the rice and combine them after and it can be so many different kinds of custards. The nice thing about a baked one is you can make it the night before to enjoy for a special breakfast the next day. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.

Steps:
- Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high heat in a saucepan. Stir in your rice. Then, turn down the heat, cover the pan and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- When the rice is done, put it in a clean saucepan with 1 1/2 cups milk, the sugar and salt. Cook this over medium heat, giving it a stir every once in awhile, until it thickens up and gets creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Crack your egg into a small bowl and beat it with the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Slowly stir this mixture into the rice. Stir in your diced apricots and cook 2 minutes more. Take off the stove and stir in your butter, vanilla, orange zest, and cardamom. Grate some nutmeg over top.
RICE PUDDING WITH DRIED APRICOTS
This recipe was in BHG November 2007 and is a Sandra Lee Semi Homemade recipe. Really good and easy, my favorite combination, lol. I have also made the pudding with Sun Maid Fruit Bits instead of the dried apricots. This uses 2 pouches Success Rice, but the computer does not recognize this ingredient.

- Meanwhile, place rice and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl; let stand for 10 minutes (to soften and release some starch). Drain.
- Strain coconut-milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan. Add rice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer (do not stir or rice will become too starchy) until rice is very tender, 30-35 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Stir in apricots and sugar. Divide mixture among ice-pop molds. Freeze until beginning to set, 30-45 minutes. Insert a stick into each pop. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour longer. DO AHEAD: Pops can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep frozen.
RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT
Steps:
- Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Add the rice, mix well, and bring the mixture back to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the rice is very soft. (The mixture should still be soupy; if it is not, add enough additional milk to make it soupy.)
- Add the dried fruits to the pudding, mix, and set aside until cooled to room temperature. Spoon into six dessert dishes and serve, if desired, with 1 or 2 tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream on top.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture for your rice pudding, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the mixture frequently to prevent scorching.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk or even cream instead of water. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- If you don't have dried apricots, you can substitute other dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or cherries.
- For a vegan version of this recipe, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of cow's milk and omit the butter.
- Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled, garnished with additional dried fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
