A Yuletide Favorite – Jólagrautur – Yule Porridge

Jólagrautur – Yule Porridge

½ pint water

3 pints milk

6 oz rice

1 teaspoon salt

2 ½ oz raisins

Cinnamon and sugar

Milk

1 almond

When the water comes to a boil, stir in the rice and cook for 10 minutes. Add the milk to the pot and cook over a low heat for 1 hour. Add the raisins in the last 10 minutes. Add salt to taste. Add milk, sugar, and cinnamon to taste. The skinned almond is added and the porridge poured into a bowl. The housewife deals portions out and whoever finds the almond receives a small gift.
