1/4 sugar 

1 tsp. Almond extract

1 cup whipping cream

1/2 cup milk

1 blanched almond

Boil rice in 5 cups of milk for 45 min, low heat.  Stir occasionally, so it doesn’t scorch.  Cool rice and add sugar and extract.  Whip cream until stiff fold into rice mixture.  Chill.  

Cherry Sauce- you can use canned cherry filling

1 24 oz Cherry in juice

Sugar taste

Cornstarch for thickening
