CARAMEL RICE PUDDING

1/3 cup uncooked rice
4 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla (or dash of nutmeg or grated lemon rind)
1/2 cup seedless raisins

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.

Add rice to milk with sugar, flavoring, and salt. Pour into prepared baking dish.

Bake uncovered at 300 degrees F for 3 hours. During first hour of baking, stir mixture with a fork 3 or 4 times to prevent rice from settling to the bottom of the baking dish. Stir in raisins after the first hour.

Serve warm or cold.

Servings: 4 or 5
