Holiday Rice Pudding

[debodun]

Would it appeal to you if candied fruit (like fruitcake mix) and chopped nuts were added to rice pudding?

Toasted nuts, yes. Dried unsweetened fruit, yes. Candied fruit, no.

No, none for me, thanks. Rice pudding used to be one of my favs--raisins are good but I wouldn't want to chew my pudding. Just my opinion though. Maybe someone else would love it.

 

[SeaBreeze]

No, I wouldn't like nuts or candied fruit in my rice pudding.

I too would like my rice pudding straight on in all its creamy goodness with no add-ins.

I've had it with raisins but only as a child....so why not another fruit? As long as it all doesn't sink to the bottom. I don't remember if my mother's raisins sank to the bottom or not.

I think it would be a nice addition to a creamy rice pudding recipe, similar to this one. I would stir it in at the end of the cooking and refrigerate it to soften the candied citron and peel a little.

I like raisins in my rice pudding but had it somewhere with maraschino cherries in it. It was very good but also made it a bit to sweet for my taste. I'd cut the sugar a bit if using them and add after the pudding was cooked. Alas drain very well unless you don't mind the pudding being a bit pink. Looked pretty for the holiday though.

I made it. It looks like creamed corn with peas and carrots in it, but it isn't bad in a candied fruit way.

Straight rice pudding........there's just some things in life that need to be left alone, rice pudding is one (just my humble opinion).

I am not a fan of candied fruit in anything.

No fruit mix plz. Rice pudding is great.
