“Arborio rice is the key to this creamy pudding. The slow cooking allows the rice to become tender and absorb the honey & citrus flavors.” —Maria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups 2% milk
1/3 cup uncooked arborio rice
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons honey, divided
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons pistachios

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring the milk, rice, sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, orange zest and salt to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until rice is tender and pudding is thickened, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and remaining honey. Serve warm or cold. Sprinkle with pistachios.
