  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) short grain rice, preferably Arborio

  • Pinch salt

  • 2 cups (500 mL) Ontario Milk

  • 1 cup (250 mL) 10% Ontario Half-and-Half Cream

  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) Ontario Maple Syrup

  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) packed brown sugar

  • 2 large Ontario Egg Yolks

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) raisins

  • 1 to 2 Ontario Apples

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) fresh lemon juice

Garnish: ground cinnamon

Instructions

In medium saucepan, bring water to boil. Stir in rice and salt; reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until water is absorbed. Stir in milk and bring almost to boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard any skin that forms on milk.

Meanwhile, peel and coarsely grate apples to measure 1 cup (250 mL). In small bowl, toss with lemon juice; set aside. 

In medium bowl, whisk together cream, maple syrup, brown sugar, egg yolks and vanilla. Stirring continuously, add about 1 cup (250 mL) hot rice mixture to egg mixture. Then, stirring continuously, return egg mixture to rice mixture in saucepan. Stir in raisins and apples. Pour into lightly buttered 8-cup (2 L) shallow glass or ceramic baking dish. 
 

Set dish in larger pan and fill larger pan with simmering water to come halfway up sides. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until barely set, adding more water if necessary to maintain level. Dust pudding with cinnamon. Serve warm or chilled.
