Fruited Rice Pilaf
I'm always trying to get fruit into our menus. I stirred some into plain rice pilaf one night, and it was a hit!—Lucille M. Gendron, Pelham, New Hampshire

I've been making this recipe since I first saw it in the magazine. It is a family favorite that we have often. I use craisins out of personal preference; the tanginess goes well in this dish. I sometimes use homemade Italian dressing instead of store-bought. Thanks for the lovely recipe!
This one got mixed reviews. Daughter and I loved it; husband rather have just plain rice pilaf.
I was looking for a side for BBQ chicken quesdaillas. This was a good pick. I skipped the raisins and added more pineapple. I also used brown rice to bump up our whole grains. This is going in my rotation. Thanks!
