Use heavy bottomed pot
A heavy pot distributes the heat more evenly and reduces burnt areas. Nevertheless, remove rice pudding regularly from the bottom, especially towards the end.

Kitchen know-how
Tips for Rice pudding with hot cherries
Just gently simmer milk
After the first boiling, reduce the heat immediately. Slow soaking makes the grains soft and creamy without overcooking or burning milk.
Mix the starch for the cherries cold
Mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold cherry juice until smooth. Stir into the hot juice and bring to the boil briefly so that it binds completely.
Variations
How to adapt this recipe
Replace the cherries with a compote of diced sour apples, a little water and cinnamon. Cook the apples only until they are cooked to pieces.
Replace 500 millilitres of milk with coconut milk and reduce the vanilla sugar. Mango or pineapple go well with this creamy version as a fruity side dish.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Rice pudding with hot cherries
Round grain rice with a high starch content becomes creamy during slow cooking and remains pleasantly soft in its core. Long grain rice results in a much looser consistency.
Use a heavy pot, reduce the heat after boiling and stir regularly over the entire bottom, especially at the end.
Stir in warm milk in small amounts until the desired creaminess is achieved. As the rice cools, it will continue to swell, so it may be a little more liquid when hot.
Rice pudding and stewed cherry can be stored separately and quickly cooled in the refrigerator for up to two days. Warm rice pudding thoroughly with a little milk or eat cold.
