mom's rice pudding recipe

this is my mom's amazing and tasty rice pudding recipe.  I have had the craziest sweet tooth lately and this hit the spot, and I didn't feel so guilty.  hope you like it!




Rice pudding
1 gallon whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup white rice (uncle ben's original)
1 orange peel
2tsp. vanilla (opt.)
cinnamon to garnish

Pour milk, sugar and rice in a pot. Cook for two hours maybe a little longer over a low heat.
Stir every 15 minutes (make sure you use a wooden spoon and run it along the bottom of pot to prevent rice from sticking and burning). When you see that it is beginning to thicken stir in the orange peel and vanilla. Once it has thickened turn off heat, remove orange peel and pour into serving bowls. Sprinkle with cinnamon and let cool. Enjoy!  (if you want it to cook faster turn up the heat but you need to stir it more)
