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.

Serving Country Rice Cereal with Honey

I love to make this simple dish when I have extra rice leftover from dinner. Three cups will serve 4-6, so even if you have 1 1/2 cups of rice, you have plenty to make for your hubby and yourself. Which I often do!

I will often make extra rice at dinnertime, just so I have enough to spare for this recipe. If I don’t have blueberries, I will often use raisins instead. Or without any fruit at all.

Drizzle this cereal with a little honey or stir in a few tablespoons of brown sugar, and this easy breakfast turns into an evening snack or dessert. So yummy!

Notes on Ingredients

 

Instructions for Making This Recipe

Ingredients Needed to Make 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.

If you’d like to turn this recipe into rice pudding, simply add 1/4 – 1/3 cup of brown sugar at this time, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract for good measure. 

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

Adding Fresh Blueberries to the Cereal

Remove from heat. Add the fresh blueberries and gently stir to combine.

An alternative to fresh blueberries, is to add 1/2 cup or more of raisins. My husband loves when I do this, as raisins are one of his favorite add-ins. The more the better.

To serve, top with honey or brown sugar and cream. Makes 4-6 servings.
