Old Rashioned Rice Pudding

This is a very simple and light dessert. It can be garnished with lemon or orange zest, and a dollop of whipped cream.

• 1/2 uncooked regular rice
• 3 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp margarine
• 1 tsp vanilla
• fresh grated nutmeg
• 1/2 cup raisins

Stir until sugar is dissolved. Bake at 315 degrees F for 1 hour stirring every 20 minutes. At the end of the hour, add raisins. Bake 15 minutes more. Serve warm with cream. 5-6 servings.
