RICE FRUIT TARTS

Here is your free recipe from the 1800’s for a great dessert, that we often had on our visits to grandma, it is easy to make and tastes great.

Please note that if you are a vegetarian then replace the milk with a vegetarian product
like soya milk. It will taste just as good.

Ingredients

1 pint of milk

sugar

2/3 cups of rice (pudding rice can be used)

3 egg whites

Castor sugar

currants/raspberries/cherries (or any stewed fruit that you wish to use)

This recipe is makes a nice change from having to make pastry. Lets get started.

Place the rice in milk and boil until nice and soft, sweeten with a little white sugar,
leave the rice until it is nearly cold.

While the rice is cooling, now stew the currants, raspberries, and cherries, or any other fruit that you might want to use, (I often use apples and rhubarb or blackberries)…remember to add sugar to sweeten.

Now that the fruit is stewed, line a baking dish with the rice, pressing it down to make the base of your tart.

Fill the dish with the stewed fruit. Beat the 3 egg whites and mix with a little Castor sugar. Once the egg whites become stiff and you can form peaks, lay the mixture over the top of the fruit. Now you have a finished tart.

Place the tart in the oven for half an hour or until brown.

I hope you find this dessert enjoyable, it makes a great change from a pastry tart, and as I have said any fruit can be used as the filling, canned pie filling or canned fruit may be used, but remember, if using canned fruit to strain the juice off before using. You can always use the juice when making smoothies.
