Compote of Rice.
- Ingredients—¼ lb. of rice.
- ¼ lb. of sugar.
- 1 pint or more of milk.
- Vanilla or other flavouring.
Method.—Boil the rice in the milk, with the sugar, for twenty minutes; if very stiff, add a little more milk or cream.
Flavour with vanilla, and put into a buttered mould with a well in the centre.
Any fruit may be put in the middle, when it is served.
If oranges are used, boil 1½ gill of water with ¼ lb. of lump sugar, until it sticks to a knife like an icicle.
Peel the oranges, and roll them in it.
If apples are used, boil them gently in one pint of water, with ¼ lb. of sugar.
When tender, add a little cochineal.
Take the apples out, and reduce the syrup to less than a quarter of a pint.
Roll the apples in it.
