Cooking Rice with Fruit

Wash a sufficient quantity
of rice, put a little water to
it, & set it in the oven till
the water is absorbed. Then
put in a little milk, work
it well with a spoon, set it
in the oven again, & keep
working it from time to time
till it is sufficiently soft. A
little cream worked in at the
last is an improvement. Fill
a tart dish nearly full of fruit,
sweeten it & lay on the rice unevenly
by spoonsfuls & Bake it till the
rice has a light color or fawn
color.

N.B. Particularly good with ripe
peaches, apricots, green grapes or
magnum bonum plums
