Heavenly Rice Pudding

From McCall’s Magazine, January 1968

½ cup raw white rice
1 8 ¾-ounce can pineapple tidbits
1 cup miniature marshmallows
10 maraschino cherries, halved (1/3 cup)
1 package ( 2 1/8) whipped topping mix
½ cup cold milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maraschino-cherry juice

Cook rice as package label directs for softer rice.  Refrigerate until well chilled.

Drain pineapple, reserving syrup.  In large bowl, combine rice, drained pineapple, marshmallows, and cherries; stir until well combined.

Refrigerate, covered, overnight, along with pineapple syrup.

Next day, prepare whipped-topping mix with milk and vanilla.

Stir reserved pineapple juice and the cherry juice into rice mixture.  Fold in whipped topping just until combined.

Refrigerate about 1 hour before serving.

Makes 8 servings.
