Costa Rican Rice Pudding - Arroz Con Leche

Ingredients:

1 small can of sweetened condensed milk

1 cup of uncooked rice; 1/2 cup of water

2 sticks of cinnamon cracked

1 cup of evaporated milk

6 cup of milk; 1/2 cup of raisins

1 teaspoon fresh nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Instructions:

First, in a large cooking pot, add the water, 4 cups of milk, uncooked rice, cinnamon, evaporated milk, vanilla and nutmeg. Once on the stove, bring the liquid to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes. Then, add the sweetened condensed milk. Add a little water to the milk can and empty its contents into the pot, by this time the liquid should be simmering, on low heat. The milk should just barely simmer, with bubbles breaking only the outside edge of the surface. As the liquid begins to reduce, add the remaining milk in small

increments as you continue to stir. As you add the milk stir the mixture so that it cooks evenly. Continue to stir intermittently, until the liquid has become a gooey paste. Then add raisins and cook for an additional 10 minutes on.
