300ml water
1 liter milk
180g grødris or arborio rice
100 g slivered almonds
2 vanilla beans - corns removed
4 tbsp sugar
¼ liter 35% cream
1. Bring the rice and water to a boil in a pot stirring for about two minutes
2. Add the milk and cook at a low temperature for about 10 minutes stirring to prevent sticking
3. Take off the heat and leave in the pot for about half an hour
4. Place in a container and let cool
(If you want to have julegrød for the nisse, take a scoop of rice out now and serve it with butter, cinnamon and brown sugar on top.)
5. Mix the rice, almonds, sugar, and vanilla together
6. Whip the cream, and fold into the rice mix. Add one whole almond as a prize.
7. Put rice in a serving bowl and let set for 2 hours.
Your guests should help themselves from the bowl and add the warmed cherry sauce to their liking.
If you can't find ready made cherry sauce, you could use a good quality cherry pie filling thinned out with water, lemon juice and some brandy.
