How to Make Rice Pudding With Dried Apricots

  1. Spray a 4-5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Stir in 2 pouches (or 2 cups) uncooked long-grain rice, 1/4 cup crystallized ginger (finely chopped), and 1 cup dried apricots (chopped).
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 2-4 hours, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra dried apricots or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
