I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

	Rice Pudding With Brandied Cherries

Serves: 10

Serves 10 to 12
This simple rice pudding is just as tasty warm as it is slightly chilled. I like using dried sweet cherries, but feel free to substitute sour ones if you prefer. When making this rice pudding, frequent stirring is a must, so put on a good CD, grab yourself a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine if you're making it the night before), and give yourself over to the task.

   1 cup dried red cherries
   1 tablespoon brandy
   6 cups water
   2 teaspoons salt
   3 cups white long grain rice
   5 cups milk
   2 1/2 cups heavy cream
   2 1/2 cups half and half
   1 1/3 cups sugar
   2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
   2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
   1 tablespoon lemon zest (2 lemons)

Put the cherries in a small bowl and add water to cover. Let soak for 5 to 10 minutes, or until plump. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Return to the bowl and add the brandy. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add 11/2 teaspoons of the salt. Stir in the rice and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Let cool.

In a large saucepan, combine the rice, milk, cream, half-and-half, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly so the rice doesn't stick. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and continue cooking uncovered, stirring frequently, for another 35 to 40 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.

Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, and cherries until blended. Garnish with the cinnamon if desired. Serve warm, or let cool, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
