I have a question. Is the rice cooked in a double boiler? And how long does it take for the rice to become tender before I add the condensed milk? Thanks Paula, I love your show and watch it every chance I get.

Absolute favorite of mine. Never had it with cherries though. Will try for sure.

Made this for the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. So very easy to make and is a big hit. Two tips: One is soak the dried cherries in your favorite port - you can microwave for a couple of minutes, I micro mine for one minute and let sit for up to five hours just to make sure they are puffed up a bit. The other tip is not to use either sticky rice or boxed minute rice. All of this from watching it on tv.... Also, dried zest works just as well though add it when cooking the whole thing. Thanks for a great easy to make recipe!

I really enjoy you both on the Food Show and also hearing from you via internet. But, Any salad or other foods you must use Feta I have a problem with. The Greek Feta is Goats milk and too strong. There is an alternative and is much milder. That is the Bulgarian Feta which is from Sheeps milk.
