Rice pudding with sour cream

[Peg H]

HELP!!! Last winter I made a recipe for rice pudding that had sour cream and a little amaretto in it. It was a reader recipe that was a fathers favorite that was lighten. I went to make it and can't believe I misplaced it! Does anyone have it or know what year and issue it was in?

This one was on CL's web site and sounds like it might fit the bill:

Rice Pudding
If you want a more traditional rice pudding, omit the amaretto and almond extract, and increase the vanilla extract to 1 tablespoon. Also, you'll need an extra <1/4> cup of water.

8 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine
11/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur) or 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
11/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce) carton low-fat sour cream
Ground cinnamon (optional)


Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy Dutch oven; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat (about 15 minutes). Stir in rice and salt; reduce heat to medium, and cook 45 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir occasionally, about every 5 to 10 minutes initially, and then as pudding begins to thicken, watch and stir every few minutes to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Place egg in a bowl; gradually add 1 cup hot rice mixture to egg, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return egg mixture to pan; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add raisins, amaretto, vanilla, and sour cream; stir well. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup).
