Compote of Rice and Fruit
3⁄4 cup rice
33⁄8 cups milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
Heat all together in a pan which is set into a cooker-pail of boiling water. When the water in the kettle boils, take out the pan and bring the mixture in it to a boil. Replace it in the pail and put it into the cooker for from one to three hours. Put it into a mould, and, when shaped, but while still warm, turn it out on to a serving dish. Put stewed or canned fruit on top, and pour the juice around it.
Serves six or eight persons.
