Easy Peasy Rice Pudding

1 1/2 C cooked rice
1 1/2 C milk (or a little more if necessary)
1/3 C light brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 C raisins
4 Tsp rum
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Put the raisins in a dish and add the rum and microwave for about 30 seconds. Set aside for five minutes to allow the raisins to absorb the rum, then drain before using.
Cook the rice, milk, sugar and salt over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy. Drizzle in the beaten eggs slowly to prevent them from cooking too quickly. Then add the drained raisins and vanilla, and cook for a few more minutes. If the pudding is a little too dry at this point add a little more milk as necessary.
Serve warm with a little sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg. This pudding is especially tasty served with some vanilla ice-cream!
