Grandma Morrison's Rice Pudding

The best. This even got a thumbs up from the guys that don't usually like rice pudding!



1/4 cup pearl (very short grain) rice- I used "Compliments Calrose Rice" when they didn't have Pearl Rice
1 cup homogenized milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup 18% table cream*
Put rice and milk in the top of a double boiler (or in a thick bottomed pot). Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then cover and simmer slowly for about 2 hours, stirring once in a while, til rice is cooked and milk is almost completely absorbed.
Add sugar, vanilla and cream. Cook for 1 hour more, or til rice pudding is thick, before milk/cream is cooked away. Serve warm or cold.
