A traditional English sweet dish. There seem to be many variations of this dish, this is just one of them. Posted for ZWT6 (cookingtime does not include cooling and chilling)
Combine all the ingredients in the top part of a double saucepan. Half fill the bottom part with boiling water and place over a moderately low heat.
Cover the pan and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally for 50-55 minutes or until the rice is soft and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove from the heat and pour mixture into a 1 pint souffle dish. Allow to cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours or until set.
Serve cold, with stiffly whipped cream or fruit compote.
