Creamy Rice Pudding with the Quickest Strawberry Jam and Cannabis Oil

Ingredients:

Jam:

  • 1kg strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 150g golden caster sugar
  • 150ml Pimm’s
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 orange, peel only

Rice Pudding:

  • 200g pudding rice
  • 1.2 litres organic whole milk
  • 30g golden caster sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 15ml crème fraîche
  • 1-2 teaspoons cannabis oil (adjust based on desired potency)

To Serve (optional)

  • A few wild strawberries
  • 50g ready-made meringue
  • A handful of edible flowers (optional)

Directions:

For the Strawberry Jam:

  • Place the strawberries, caster sugar, Pimm’s, and bay leaf in a pan. Use a peeler to add a few strips of orange peel.
  • Cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring regularly until it thickens slightly.

For the Rice Pudding:

  • In a large, wide non-stick casserole pan over medium-low heat, combine the pudding rice and milk. Add the caster sugar and stir well.
  • Halve the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and pod to the pan.
  • Simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring regularly, until the rice is tender and has a creamy, oozy consistency.
  • Stir in the cannabis oil along with the crème fraîche for a creamy finish. Adjust cannabis oil based on desired potency.

Finishing the Jam:

  • Once the jam is ready, use a potato masher to mash some of the strawberries on one side of the pan, creating a mix of chunky and puréed textures. Remove and discard the bay leaf and orange peel, then turn off the heat.

Assemble and Serve:

  • Pour the rice pudding onto a serving platter. Add a spoonful of jam (save the rest for later) and ripple it through the rice pudding with a spoon.
  • Break over the meringues, scatter the wild strawberries (if using), and decorate with edible flowers, if desired.
