August 9th is National Rice Pudding Day, and we wanted to make sure we shared our favorite recipe.  When rice pudding is mentioned we all think of that delicious dessert that grandma used to make. Well, let me take you back to that point in time where you’re sitting at grandma’s kitchen table on a sunny afternoon enjoying a bowl of creamy cranberry rice pudding. We use short grain rice for a creamier pudding and to pack the most flavor in each bite.  This recipe is perfect for any berry-type of fruit that you need to use up. Bonus: if you can get your kids to try it, they’ll have no issue eating their fruits!
