Rice Pudding With Vanilla Bean Orange And Rum

Rice pudding with a mild orange flavor. I have never used the rum so i can't offer any comment on that part of the flavor. Chill time not included.

Combine the milk and rice in a heavy medium saucepan.

Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean.

Add the bean.

Bring the milk to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the rice is tender , stirring frequently , about 25 minutes.

Mix in the sugar , rum , and orange peel.

Discard the vanilla bean.

Cook until the mixture thickens , 5 to 10 minutes longer.

Spoon the rice pudding into bowls.

Cover and refrigerate until cold , about 5 hours.

Serve with orange segments if desired.
