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

to be one way and one way only.

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.

My dad did his like Jon's, Step mom baked hers' a bit as I always liked the side crust.

Another favorite of mine is bread pudding. used to use a pressure cooker to make that.

I sure enjoyed rice pudding, have not had it for many years. Bread pudding was good too.

Leave out the raisins and you might have something....

That's the best part.

Everyone is saying "their Mom" made it that way. My Wife makes it quite often, Yummy.

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

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.

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.

Not so for me.

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 bride and I both cook. One at a time. If I'm cooking, get out of my way and I afford her the same courtesy. Whomever cooks, the other does the dishes. Been working good for 26+ years!

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?

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.

I'm thinking raisin pie is out of the question then?
