It's something Mom used to make that was good and easy.
I finally got around to figuring out how she made it.

1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups milk
2 eggs beaten
1 cup of raisins
1/2 cup sugar, I mixed brown and white
1 tbsp vanilla
pinch or 2 of cinnamon
pinch or 2 of nutmeg

cook the rice for 20 minutes in 2 cups of water.

Mix all the other ingredients in a pot on medium and stir in the rice.
keep stirring until it reaches a temp of 170 then set aside to cool.
Sprinkle a little more nutmeg on top.

I made it while my pork chops were cooking, set it aside and it was still warm for dessert.

That recipe brings back memories from my childhood!

Not sure, but may be identical to what my Mom used to make!

Makes for a tasty desert/treat!  ;)

As a boy my mom used to make it but instead of raisins she used pineapple. I've tried it with raisins but it just doesn't taste right. Funny how some things have ;D to be one way and one way only.  ;D

I like me a good bowl of rice pudding! Raisins or rice no matter love them both.
Tapioca is another good one.

   Looks a lot like Mom used to make only I thought she baked hers in a shallow pan.

None of mine could either.
Got one that can cook now though as my expanding waistline will attest to. smiley_turkey_dancing

Mine is a great cook but I like to cook to, so it can be a fight for the kitchen but the grill is all mine. We've got a sort of truce in the kitchen, there are dishes she cooks and others I do.  ;D

That's the way it is for me now. We each have our specialties.
We got a insta pot for Christmas. Both of us are trying different things in it.
No matter who cooks she does dishes. lol

I can honestly say that I have never tried rice pudding. I see the raisins and politely refuse. I like raw raisins out of the container but as soon as they are cooked, no thanks.

My Raisin tale - Around 2002 my wife and I were vacationing in north central Cameroon along the Nigerian border and we trekked in to visit and camped with the Koume (Koo-Mah) tribe that had first been contacted around 1986. The women still wore a patch of green leave s in front and back held up by a belt of beads. They (the women) smoked pipes and pulled their two front upper teeth when they got married. Anyway, we were hiking on our way back to the end of the road to the village of Wangui (Wang E) where we had left our SUV. It was very hot and we stopped under a shade tree to hydrate and I pulled out a couple small boxes of raisins and such and started snacking on them. My local guide, Abdou, asked what they were and I told him "raisins, you know dried grapes." He still looked puzzled so I gave him a box and he took out a handful and started eating them. Almost immediately he started spitting them out and threw the box away in disgust. He then went back to eating his termites like he had been doing before.

  Maybe raisins are an acquired taste?

when I was in undergrad at KU, I was invited to neighbors for chili.  some of what looked like chili beans were a little darker and sweet.  they were semi vegetarians, and put raisins in the chili.  I would not have known if they had not told me.  tasted good, but seemed strange since that is not how my Mom did it.!

Hard to explain raisins to a guy that's never seen a grape?:D 

They would just be some "Weird foreign food", but I bet he knew where to find local fruit, roots, termites etc that were mighty good eating.

@Raider Bill I'll have raisin pie with you. ;D Fresh out of the oven with ice cream. I like them as a snack when traveling, they don't upset my stomach like sweets.

My Dad made a great one, mince meat too. His Father, my Grandfather owned a bakery and for all their faults they could sure cook and gave us a good understanding as to what good food was about.

Growing up we never had store bought baked goods in the house. Just not allowed. Bread, cakes, pies, cookies always home made.

Lady that works in my office is also a great baker. She bakes for a local deli on the side. I am the lucky recipient of extras as my waistline will attest to.

Bill,

   Remember the old saying "Never trust a skinny cook." Maybe that applies to his/her friends too. :D
