I like to make this Country Rice Cereal with Blueberries when I have some leftover rice. It’s so creamy and delicious, lightly scented with cinnamon and loaded with fresh blueberries.

Drizzle with a little honey and this could serve as breakfast and dessert!

A Note About Ingredients

What Kind of Rice Should I Use?

I like to use white rice for this recipe, which could be long-grain or another variety. Recently, I’ve been cooking with Jasmine Rice that I purchased at our regional Aldi Grocery Store. It smells divine and is so yummy. I highly recommend trying it.

Although you could use freshly cooked rice, I think this recipe works especially well when the rice has cooled in the refrigerator. In other words, I like to use leftover rice when I can.

Milk, Cream, or Half and Half?

When I first made this recipe I used whole milk, but I’ve recently started using half and half cream, which I really like. Much better. It thickens much easier and makes this warm cereal so very creamy and delicious.

Instructions for Making This Recipe

Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Using a colander, rinse and drain the fresh blueberries.

In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, half and half cream, butter, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 6-8 minutes until thickened.

Remove from heat. Add the fresh blueberries and gently stir to combine. To serve, top with honey or brown sugar and milk. Makes 4-6 servings.
