Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar to the saucepan with the cooked rice. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 8

Add the dried cranberries and raisins, stirring to incorporate evenly.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding rest for 5 minutes.
