MEXICAN RICE PUDDING ("ARROZ CON LECHE")

Steps:

• Put the water, rice, and cinnamon stick in a medium-size heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and cook until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Strain out the liquid, discard the cinnamon and reserve the rice. Return the rice to the saucepan. Stir in the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, about 20 minutes. Add the raisins, and stir well. Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl. Dust the top of the pudding with ground cinnamon and serve.

BASQUE RICE PUDDING (ARROZ CON LECHE)

Steps:

• Bring milk to boil.
• Add rice.
• Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes.
• Then add sugar, salt, and cinnamon stick. Stir very well and cook ten minutes. Stir often and maybe the whole last ten minutes to keep ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
• Pour in large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. If thicker pudding is desired, chill in the fridge after pudding reaches room temperature.

MOTHER-IN-LAW'S RICE PUDDING (ARROZ CON LECHE)

Steps:

• In a large kettle, boil the rice, cinnamon, and cloves in about 3 liters of water for 40 minutes or until cooked and very soft. (If it gets too thick and sticky before cooking has finished, add boiling water.).
• Remove from stove. Stir in all the remaining ingredients, mixing well.
• Taste to test for sweetness; this tastes sweeter warm than it will cold, so allow for that.
• Pour into individual dessert dishes or disposable cups.
• Eat while still warm (not hot), or refrigerate and eat cold. This dessert keeps well, refrigerated, for a few days, though some liquid will separate out on the top after a day or two; just stir it back into the rice before eating.
• If you have picky or allergic eaters who don't do raisins and/or coconut but you don't want to omit these ingredients, just leave them out at first, when you are mixing the remaining ingredients into the cooked rice. Pour out portions for the special people, then mix in the "offending" ingredients with the remaining rice and serve the rest. If you are sure to mark which portions are "with" and which are "without," you can make everyone happy. :-).
