Yum! I just made this, first sauteing the rice in the butter before adding the water as was recommended previously. I also didn't add the sugar until the rice was tender and added some minced candied ginger and orange zest to the pudding with the sugar. Make sure you temper the beaten egg and milk mixture! Will definitely make this again!

I made this with 3 very ripe peaches and omitted the butter and water in the peach mixture. Since there was no extra liquid, I dumped the entire mixture into the batter. I was out of white sugar (darn roommate!) so I substituted with light brown sugar. Added a little vanilla extract to both mixtures. This wasn't as sweet as I'm used to, which isn't a bad thing, and definitely tastes delicious with vanilla ice cream.

I made the recipe pretty much as is (except I used softened butter instead of melted butter) and everyone loved it. It worked especially well with vanilla ice cream. The next time I make this, I'd probably tweak the following: substitute 1/3 cup orange juice for the water, substitute half of the white sugar for light brown sugar (and probably use less sugar overall), and add the nutmeg to the apple mixture. If I wasn't going to serve this with vanilla ice cream, I'd probably want to add a little vanilla extract too.
