Pineapple Rice Pudding

Total Time Prep: 20 min. + chilling
Yield 2 servings
This wonderful old recipe for pineapple rice pudding was a treat during the Depression. We didn't have dairy topping in those days, so we enjoyed it with real, heavy cream. Mother served this as a special treat for our family. During celebrations we got to eat it in glass dishes with a cherry on the top. —Barbara Thomas, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey
