Orange Rice Pudding

This is the first time I have been unable to get a recipe to work for me. I cooked the rice and milk mixture for 55 minutes and the rice never absorbed the milk. I threw that batch away and made again using 1 cup of rice to the 2 cups of milk. I got it to work but the rice didn't cook through. The orange flavor was really good. Sorry Boomette1 that I couldn't get your wonderful recipe to work for me.

I got sidetracked with plumbers today (who came early!) and I let the pudding over bake so it came out drier than I would have liked. That said, DH had no problem getting his "rating sample" down and he gave 4 stars. He liked the orange but said that he was glad it wasn't any stronger. I skipped the orange peel and dates. I'll likely make this again and bake it for less time to keep it more creamy.

I made this yesterday for a lovely breakfast! Only 2 servings for me too! It's a great combination of flavors. However I made some changes: I had to pour off almost half the milk, there just wasn't enough rice to absorb it all. I omitted the honey and used 4 dates (and the orange peel) since they were optional. Next time I will use more dates and less raisens- personal preference. I also just warmed everything for a few more minutes in the casserole dish on the stove rather than baking. Thanks very much!

Very nice and I agree, different. I added everything as directed.
