Auld fashioned rice pudding with a pot of jam and cream

Yes this is on our dessert menu and wow does it bring back memories. With the crispy golden skin  and the luxurious  split vanilla pod enclosed it has been a real head turner in the kitchen as well as out front.  The scent of the vanilla as it slowly cooks is a real joy.Thanks mum for bringing me  and my brother Alistair ,up on this wonderful pudding! The simple things are best in life and that goes for cooking too as this wonderful dish proves.
