Author Notes: This is the easiest recipe ever, but it tastes delicious. I created it when I first got a slow cooker, because I love rice pudding. The proportions come from some rice pudding recipes from Mark Bittman, who prepared his in the oven, but a slow cooker is more energy efficient and convenient. The cooking time needs to be calibrated to any individual slow cooker. - Fairmount_market
Serves 6-8
- 1 quart whole milk
- 1/3 cup rice, such as jasmine
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 cardamom pods
- 1 pinch saffron
- 1 handful toasted almond slivers for garnish
- 1 handful sliced fresh figs or some other fruit for garnish
- Combine all ingredients except the almonds and fruit in a slow cooker and cook on low for about 6 hours until all the milk has absorbed and the pudding has thickened. If a skin forms on the top, you can just stir this into the pudding at the end.
- Serve garnished with toasted slivered almonds and, if you have some, fresh sliced figs, or you could use sections of clementines.

Oops, I just saw the guideline of no rice puddings for this contest, but I can't figure out how to unsubmit this recipe from this contest. Help, please.

Ohh I have to make this immediately! What a beautiful and simple recipe that bursts with favorite flavors! I'm pulling out the slow-cooker and have been wondering what to use my cardomom pods for. Here it is! Thank You for sharing!

Wondering if you could also make this with basmati rice . . . . and what an elegant rice pudding this is! I do hope you continue to post recipes here. Your first two are simply wonderful!! ;o)

Yes I've made this with basmati rice and it was delicious. I'm glad you like the recipes. I've been creating recipes for a farmers market I helped get started in my neighborhood. Here are some other recipes that I made with the kheer at the end of the season: http://fairmountmarket...

I made this yesterday as the snow was blowing outside. It is the first time that I have purchased cardamom pods. It is quite delicious but I did let it cook for a couple hours extra to achieve the consistency that I prefer. Thanks and I will be making it again soon.
