A delicious pudding made from rice and evaporated milk, whipped until stiffened and flavored with fruit. The recipe likely came from a Carnation milk recipe booklet or newspaper clipping. There's something intriguing about the illustration of the author - it looks as though she even has a beauty mark. How striking!

Heavenly Rice Pudding
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 T lemon juice
16 dice marshmallows (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cups cooked rice
1 1/4 cups drained, crushed pineapple
1 T grated lemon rind (zest)

Chill evaporated milk in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Whip until stiff, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and continue whipping until very stiff (about 2 minutes). fold in remaining ingredients and place in refrigerator. Chill. Garnish with maraschino cherries and pineapple chunks.

In place of pineapple, you can use any well-drained fruit.
