Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/2 gallon milk*
1 cup uncooked rice
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cold margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried apricots or peaches, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*Use half nonfat and half whole milk or all nonfat for lower fat content.
Can substitute evaporated milk for a very rich flavor.
The cooking time will vary greatly, anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2
hours. The longer it cooks, the thicker it will be. It is important to have
the dried apricots minced. Put all ingredients into the slow
cooker/Crock Pot. Stir to blend well. Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2
hours; stir once after about an hour. Or, cook on high for the first 30
minutes, turn to low and cook as long as desired. Check after the first
2 hours of low cooking and stir. If the rice is not absorbing the milk
quickly enough, turn the slow cooker/Crock Pot up to high again. Keep
cover on at all times.
Slow Cooker temperatures vary widely among different brands. Only
experimentation can tell you the correct amount of time for cooking in
your slow cooker/Crock Pot. Rarely will a slow cooker/Crock Pot recipe
fail, though, as the long, slow cooking process does not require precise
timing.
Serves 8.
