INGREDIENTS
| 1 | qt | Milk |
| 3 1/2 | T | Sugar |
| 3/4 | c | Long-grain white rice |
| 3/4 | c | Blanched and chopped almonds |
| 1/4 | c | Sherry |
| 2 | t | Vanilla |
| 1/2 | pt | Heavy cream, chilled |
INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully bring the milk to a boil in a large pot; add the sugar and the rice. Stir a couple of times. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 25 minutes or until the rice is soft but not mushy. According to this recipe a sure test for doneness is to rub a grain of rice between the thumb and forefinger and if it isn't hard in the center it is done. Immediately pour the cooked rice into a shallow bowl for quick cooling. Stir in the chopped almonds, sherry and vanilla. Whip the heavy cream until it is thickened and holds a soft shape. Fold into the lukewarm rice mixture. Spoon into a serving dish and chill. Apparently a cold cherry or raspberry sauce or some cherry liqueur is often served on top of this version of an ancient Christmas porridge. Serves 6 to 8.
