Guidelines allow 1 tsp sugar per serving or 2 tbsp for a 6 serving recipe which would taste ok to people accustomed to low sugar recipes. Combine rice, milk, sweetener (or sugar) raisins, vanilla and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir occasionally until the mixture is creamy. Core and shred apple and sprinkle with ascorbic acid color keeper, or with a little lemon juice. Stir apple into rice mixture. Cook a few minutes longer until apple is soft. Serve warm or cold. 1/6 recipe made with artificial sweetner - 1 starch choice, 1 milk optional: cook 2/3 cup rice in 1 2/3 cups water. Make pudding as above without apple and add 2 tbsp coconut.
