    Default Florentine Rice Pudding

    3/4 cup long-grain white rice
    pinch of salt
    4 cups milk
    5 eggs
    2 cups sugar or 2 cups honey or a mixture
    8tbs. butter,melted and cooled
    2 tbsp. orange flower water or 4 tbsp. orange flavored liqueur
    8 oz diced candied orange peel
    about 1 cup orange marmalade
    2-3 tablespoons water
    confectioners' sugar, for dusting

    Put the rice and salt in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the milk and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for about 25 minutes until the rice is tender and creamy. Remove from heat.

    Pass the cooked rice through a food mill into a large bowl. Alternatively, process in a food processor for about 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside. Stir from time to time to prevent a skin from forming.

    Meanshile, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar in a large bowl for about 4 minutes until very light and creamy. Gently fold into the rice with the melted butter. Stir in half the orange liqueur then the candied orange peel.

    Pour into a well-buttered 8-cup souffle dish or charlotte mold. Place the dish in a roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to come 11/2 inches up the side of the dish.

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes until puffed and lightly set. Transfer the dish to a wire rack to cool slightly.

    Heat the marmalade with the water stirring until dissolved and smooth. Stir in the remaining orange flower water and pour into a sauceboat or pitcher. Dust the top of the pudding with the confectioners' sugar and serve warm with the marmalade sauce.

    Ears deafened by the din of Things cannot hear Truth.
    Brains bewildered by the whirl of Things cannot think truth.
    Hearts deadened by the weight of Things cannot feel Truth.
    Throats choked by the dust of Things cannot speak truth.
