Poached Cherry Risotto
"I really like risotto. The trouble is that I am the only one in the house that likes it, until now. Everything is better when it is sweet. also, you cannot live near Door County without having a few cherry recipes on here. I used Recipe #229437 #229437 by the lovely and talented Chef #58104 for the cherries called for in this recipe. Yes, I still add the vanilla because my DH loves vanilla. You can skip this step if you use Rita's cherry, since it already is flavored."
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup poached cherries, with liquid
directions
- Place the milk, cream and vanilla into a saucepan and bring gently to boiling point. Meanwhile, begin melting the butter in a large saucepan and then add the rice. Stir well to ensure the rice is well coated in the butter. Cook this for a few minutes - you want the rice to get glossy and a bit translucent.
- Add a half cup of the boiling milk mixture. This should absorb fairly quickly and as soon as it has, add another half cup. Keep stirring and when this has absorbed add another half cup of milk mixture and 1 tablespoon of the reserved poached cherry liquid. This is the sweetener and it will also color the risotto.
- You need to continue this process of stirring and adding the just boiling milk and poaching liquid - you'll notice that the time between additions will get longer as the rice cooks.
- When you've got about 1 cup of milk mixture left - add a half cup of drained poached cherries to the risotto and continue as before. The risotto is finished when the rice has softened and become creamy - it should by now have a lovely delicate rose blush to it. How pretty is that?.
- Serve hot with a spoonful of reserved poached cherry juice and some extra poached cherries on top.

Did you know that you can type in the degree symbol ° by holding down the Alt key and typing 248? Go ahead try it, I'll wait. Cool eh?
Just a note to anyone making my recipes. If you have taken pictures of them, please feel free to post them right away. I love seeing what others come up with and want them all posted.
Also, I am VERY slow to return Zmails. I'm sorry, but that's just how I roll. I will of course answer you if you have questions, but it might take a day.
Thanks! :)

I am also very glad to say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I see His blessings in my everyday life. I am married to the love of my life and we've been together about 10 years. I always follow the rule of Faith first, Family second, Career third. Since I've had those priorities in order, everything has fallen right into line.

I have 4 children at home - 12, 10, 8, 6. My oldest son is 12 and has severe autism, and he lives with his father. I also have a baby boy - Furrynando. I think he gets the most attention.

I have fibromyalgia and I also have quite a few back problems. I was supposed to have a spinal fusion surgery Sept 08, but the insurance declined at the last moment. I cannot think of many people out there having elective back surgery, but you never know. I haven't been pain free in over 10 years. But... I do get to park really close to the doors at Walmart :)
UPDATE:
I had my surgery! Oh thank God I can walk and sit and do so many things again. I finally have life to live!

My star system....
5* = Awesome! Totally rocked our socks!
4* = Very good, but needs 'something'.
3* = We ate it, tried it anyways.
2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead.
1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it.
I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over.
