Port Royal Rice Pudding created by Rita1652

Rice pudding be an old and favorite thing. For the Raiders Of The Lost Pantry Contest I've added Caribbean flavors sure to please any pirate. I see no reason why some of the water couldn't be replaced with a splash of Capt'n Morgan's best but that be up to ye matey! The recipe, as written, do be fit for the family. I've used lime and coconut in part and yes that infamous song do be stuck in me head, Arrrrrrr. The prep time be only soaking the rice on yer galley counter. *EDIT I have updated the ingredient amounts since the 2 original contest reviews where posted.

This was creamy and good, well-balanced but missed the taste of the coconut. I do like the zest of the lime as lime refreshes everything.

This was pretty good! Nice and creamy. The lime did get lost in it so a good zesting of it before serving helps.<br/>I used hot water to soak the rice cutting the time of soaking. My soaking time was while I gathered and prepared the ingredients. I used the whole lime. Raisins were soaked in coconut rum. I did add the rum to the mix. The coconut was barely there. Some toasted coconut would be a nice garnish. I did cook over very low heat till tender. Thanks and good Luck in the contest.
