Sugar-Free Instant Rice Pudding Jar Mix

By Jane Lake

A new "gift in a jar" twist on an old-fashioned recipe: this delicious low calorie rice pudding jar mix uses sugar-free, fat free instant vanilla pudding and instant rice. I am told that it is also suitable for diabetic diets.

Just print out our jar labels, follow the directions for layering, and decorate your jar recipe gift with a paper doily and thin ribbon.

Diabetic Rice Pudding Mix in a Jar - Ingredients:

• 1 package of sugar and fat-free instant vanilla pudding (four serving size)
• approximately 3/4 cup instant rice
• 3 tablespoons raisins
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Recipe Instructions:

Empty pudding mix into a 1 cup jar; add cinnamon and nutmeg, using a spoon to spread the spices around the edge of the jar to be visible from the outside. Add a 1/2 inch layer of instant rice and top with half the raisins; repeat these two layers. Fill the jar to the top with remaining rice.

Low Calorie Rice Pudding

Directions:

Empty contents of jar into a small saucepan. Add 3 cups of 1% milk and whisk together. Bring to a boil at medium high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let stand five minutes. Serve hot or cold; sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.

Suggestions:

Our readers have tried some substitutions which seem to work - try using instant brown rice instead of the white rice or soy milk for the 1% milk.

Just to clarify, the repeating layers are only rice and raisins; the other ingredients should be placed in the jar in the order specified, then topped with another layer of rice and one of raisins.
