Peaceful Prune Pud
Traditional British rice pudding is usually cooked in the oven - how I remember the delight of peeling off the skin at school!
This pud doesn’t have skin, but the additional benefits of prunes - or any other dried fruit - make it a soothing dessert for the end of the day. The high natural sugar content of dried fruit keeps the blood sugar supply to the brain on an even keel, which is emotionally relaxing. Tryptophan in cheese and the lethargy-fighting components of cinnamon turn this into the most peaceful pud around.
Ingredients
100g/3 and a half oz pudding rice
1 tspn lemon juice
40g/1 and a half oz sugar
700ml/1/4 pints milk
115/4oz stoned prunes, snipped

2 Pour in milk, simmer for 10 mins
3 Add prunes and continue simmering for 20 mins, stirring occasionally, until rich and creamy
4 Serve with a dollop of mascarpone and sprinkled with cinnamon
