1 cup white rice (not instant)
½ tsp. salt
1 qt. milk
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
½ chopped almonds and 1 whole blanched almond
2 cups heavy cream, whipped with 1 tsp almond extract and sweetened
to taste
Cook rice, salt, and milk in double boiler until rice is
soft and mixture is thick, about ½ hour.
Add sugar and almond extract. Chill. Add chopped almonds and whole almond. Stir in whipped cream. Spoon into dishes and serve with red fruit
sauce. The person who gets the whole
almond gets a gift and gets to help hand out the Christmas presents.
The story we were told in Sweden is that the person that gets the whole almond is getting married in the next year. Of course, it was "spiked" with extra almonds so that every missionary got at least one almond.
