I wish I could be more generous with this recipe, because the theory was sound - just didn't work in practice. The brown rice provided a 'mustiness' that I think didn't work in this pudding, and after cooking, the buttermilk left a strange graininess in the mouth. I found that I really had to watch my pot because after the first 10 minutes of cooking (at the lowest setting on my stove-top), the pudding had a tendency to scorch on the bottom. It was done after 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it was not creamy - more stodgy, and very, very solid, even while still warm. The cherries just couldn't save it. Unfortunately, nobody in the family liked it and I ditched it as I know it would just not get eaten.

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
