Yield: Makes 8 servings.
Ingredients
• 3 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries and blueberries)
• 1 (2-ounce) jar crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped
• 2 cups heavy cream or half and half
• 3 cups cooked medium or long grain rice
• 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions
Preheat broiler.
Combine berries and 3 tablespoons chopped ginger in medium bowl; set aside.
Bring heavy cream, rice, and 1/3 cup brown sugar just to a boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently, or until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in remaining ginger, butter, and extract.
Spray 8 ovenproof custard cups* with vegetable cooking spray and place on baking sheet.
Spoon equal amounts of rice mixture into each cup. Sprinkle evenly with remaining sugar; broil 2 to 3 minutes or until sugar completely melts and begins to bubble. Remove from broiler; let stand 2 minutes.
Serve with berry mixture.
*One 10-inch shallow oven-safe baking dish or quiche dish may be used in place of individual custard cups. Spoon entire rice mixture into dish; top with brown sugar and broil.
