Rice Pudding for a Crowd

Rice Pudding for a Crowd 2 cups long-grained rice 6 cups whole milk but not less than 2% variety 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar Mix this all into a large cooking pot with a lid. Bring to a strong simmer and turn down to very low and let it slowly cook. This could take up to 45 minutes to an hour depending on the type of rice you use, etc. When the rice has cooked through and the milk is thickened, remove from heat. At this point, you can add cinnamon, diced apples, dried fruit, raisins, etc. I like to throw in a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract. A dash of brandy won't hurt, either. Stir in your chosen ingredient(s), cover, and let sit until you serve it. It is great hot, warm, or cold. It keeps in the refrigerator a day of two although it seldom lasts that long at my house.
