RUM RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the raisins and rum. Set aside.
• Combine the rice and salt with 1 1/2 cups water in a medium heavy-bottomed stainless steel saucepan. Bring it to a boil, stir once, and simmer, covered, on the lowest heat for 8 to 9 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed. (If your stove is very hot, pull the pan halfway off the burner.)
• Stir in 4 cups of half-and-half and sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until the rice is very soft. Stir often, particularly toward the end. Slowly stir in the beaten egg and continue to cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, add the remaining cup of half-and-half, the vanilla, and the raisins with any remaining rum. Stir well. Pour into a bowl, and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Serve warm or chilled.

CINNAMON-RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring the rice, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 3 1/2 cups of the milk to a simmer in a medium saucepot set over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is just tender, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar, vanilla, egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup milk in a medium bowl until smooth. While whisking constantly, slowly add about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolk mixture until smooth and then whisk back into the pot. Stir in the raisins.
• Simmer the pudding, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Remove and discard the pieces of cinnamon stick.
• Pour the pudding into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate, if desired. Serve at room temperature or cold, sprinkled with freshly ground cinnamon.

INSTANT POT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Add the rice, water, salt and cinnamon sticks to the bowl of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Give it a stir and then lock the lid, making sure the valve is set to seal. Pressure cook on high for 5 minutes, and do a natural release for 10 minutes before manually releasing any residual steam inside.
• Carefully open the Instant Pot and discard the cinnamon sticks. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk sugar, egg, vanilla, ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir into the cooked rice and set the machine to sauté on low.
• Cook, stirring often, until the pudding has thickened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the machine and carefully remove the inner bowl. Stir in the butter and raisins and serve either warm or transfer to a container to chill until ready to serve. If the pudding thickens too much, you can thin it out with a splash or two of milk before eating.
