Wow, this is a very tasty way of making rice pudding! It has a lovely brown top and a delicate rice and milk flavour. Mmmm! I could not locate quince paste anywhere near here, so I just threw in some raisins, which was nice, too. The fruity taste went really well with the creamed rice. The preparation was easy and everything worked out beautifully. Mine was ready after 1 hour and ten minutes. In order to prevent it from browning too much, I covered it with baking paper after 50 minutes. Its just that I found it to be quite eggy in taste, which is why Im not giving the full 5 stars. Perhaps thats cause Im used to stove top rice pudding without any eggs at all... Nevertheless, this is great and also very impressive in its presentation. Definitely good for serving to guests. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, JustJanS! Made and reviewed for group 9-Hakea in the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #32 September 09.
