Ease into Fall with this delicious recipe
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter ten x 5 oz ramekins or one standard size pie plate; set aside. Put rice and milks in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until milk is just about to simmer. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove pan from heat. Meanwhile, whisk cream, sugar, egg yolks, salt, lemon zest, and cardamom in a medium bowl. Pour the cream mixture into the rice mixture in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly.
Return pan to medium-high heat, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Using a ladle, divide rice mixture evenly among buttered ramekins, stirring mixture in pan each time to ensure an even distribution of rice and liquid.
Transfer ramekins or pie plate to a large roasting pan that is atleast 2 inches deep. Slowly pour boiling water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins/pie plate. Carefully place in oven. Cook, rotating pan halfway through, until puddings are almost set and tops are golden in places, 50 to 60 minutes.
Carefully transfer ramekins to a wire rack. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, cold, or at room temperature. Spoon candied squash and its syrup on top of each pudding, dividing evenly.
For the candied squash:
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Put marmalade, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice in a large, wide pot. Stir in 2 ½ cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve marmalade and sugar.
Add squash, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and partially cover pot.
Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender when pierced with a fork, about 35 minutes. Uncover, and cook until liquid is syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove vanilla bean, and discard. Serve warm. Squash and syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week. Before serving, reheat over medium-low heat. If the syrup seems too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
