Rice Pudding with Apples or Raisins

3 table-spoons rice
1 quart milk
3 table-spoons brown sugar
Salt
3 sour apples
Or 1 cup raisins or sultanas

Soak the rice in the milk for an hour. Add a little salt, the sugar, the apples pared and cut into eighths, or the stoned raisins or sultanas. Butter a deep pudding-dish and fill it, covering it with a plate. Bake very slowly for four hours.
