As a little aside, I just love hand made heritage linens. This one is a treasured keepsake sewn by my Aunt Leuty. She inspired me in many ways. She was a great cook, and a kind and gentle person. She inspired many a student in her Home Economics Classroom in Oklahoma. This little tablecloth was given to my mother who left it to me. Time to share its soft green applique design with you.
I love setting up the photographs of foods I create always trying to pick a color scheme. In this case, the heirloom tablecloth set the stage.

Ingredients and How-To Instructions.
The Step-by-Step Recipe Method
- Cook Rice or Use 4 cups of leftover Jasmine Rice.
- How to Cook Rice: Measure 1 cup of Jasmine Scented Rice, and place it in a cooking pot. Add 2 1/2 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil, stir, cover, and then simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes or until the rice is done. 1 cup of rice makes about 6 cups of cooked rice.

This Rice Pudding is only slightly sweet by itself. The Maple Syrup and Whipped Cream make it decadent. You can also eat it plain as a snack or make it ahead for a quick breakfast.
