Tapioca Rice Pudding

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
• 5 cups milk
• 1 cup cooked white rice
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Soak the tapioca pearls in milk overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the tapioca, milk, and rice in a large pan over medium heat. Stir in the eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 15 minutes. Do not bring to a boil. Pour into a 9×13 inch baking dish, and stir in raisins. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.

Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, but stir in the vanilla after 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
