BROWN SUGAR RICE PUDDING

Makes 6 servings

• 1 3/4 cups water
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 cup dried cherries
• 1/2 cup uncooked rice
• 4 cups low-fat milk
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1. Preheat oven to 325°F and butter a 1½ quart baking dish.

2. In a saucepan, heat the water and lemon juice to boiling. Remove from the heat and drop in the dried cherries. Let them sit for 3 minutes to absorb liquid and plump up.

3. Combine the rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Bake in the prepared dish for 1 hour, stirring often so the rice doesn’t settle on the bottom. Stir in the cinnamon and cherries.

4. Return dish to oven and bake 1½ hours more, or until the milk has been absorbed.
