RICE PUDDING WITH SULTANAS (SPAIN)

Steps:

• Put sultanas in a bowl & cover them with the brandy, then allow them to sit & soak up some of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
• In a heavy sauce pan, combine rice, sugar, milk, the drops of vanilla & the cinnamon stick.
• When the milk STARTS to boil, turn heat to low & simmer slowly, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• When sultanas have soaked up some of the brandy, drain them & add the sultanas to the rice & milk mixture.
• Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, & once rice has cooked, remove pan from the heat & remove the cinnamon stick.
• Spoon into a serving bowl & let cool a bit before sprinkling a little ground cinnamon over the top & serving.
