WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SERVE RICE PUDDING ~ Loved the cherry sauce! Others need to know, though, that it doesn't take 5 hours of cooking time, but rather a little less than 1 hour, 'cause the rest is for chilling in the frig! Really enjoyed the inclusion of toasted almonds! A WONDERFUL KEEPER! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my Vegetarian partners in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 4]
