TIPS:
- Long-grain white rice can be successfully used in this recipe, but the pudding will not be as creamy as one made with arborio rice.
- Use 1 cup fresh, pitted cherries in place of the dried cherries, if desired. Or substitute an equal quantity of dried cranberries, instead.
- For a rich pudding, use half milk and half cream.
