Apricot and Raisin Rice Pudding
Cooking the rice in milk makes a pudding that's creamy even with lowfat 1% or 2% milk. Dried fruits, especially apricots, add extra calcium; you can also use prunes, figs or dates. The pudding will thicken as it cools; if it gets too thick, stir in a little extra milk.
