Easy Rice Pudding For A Crowd (can Be Halved)

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 18
• 6 cups cooked and cooled rice (preferably medium grain, but long grain will work)
• 2 cups half-and-half cream or 2 cups evaporated skim milk
• 4 cups milk (i use skim or 1%)
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup raisins
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (use freshly grated for a world of difference)

Recipe

• 1 into a large, heavy-bottomed pan, mix together all ingredients. on medium heat, stir occasionally while mixture comes to a simmer.
• 2 continue stirring regularly throughout the process. you don't have to stir constantly, but you can't just walk away for very long either.
• 3 once at a simmer turn down heat and continue to stir periodically. allow to thicken to a creamy consistency (about 25-30 minutes).
• 4 don't let it get too thick. it should be only slightly thicker than a hearty cream soup. if it gets much thicker it will be too thick when it cools. serve as desired, whether hot or cold.
