Brûléed Rice Pudding with Poached Persimmons
Yields 2-3 servings
An upgraded version of your childhood snack (this did not come out of a plastic cup, folks!). We poached persimmons in warm spices, rum, and our Meyer Lemon Honey Living Vinegar until tender and extra flavorful. The nuttiness of the persimmons combined with the creamy rice pudding creates a comforting experience for the colder weather. We also finished the rice pudding with a caramelized sugar top (brûléed, if you will), to add a little bitterness to an otherwise sweet and tangy dessert. Also, how fun is it to use a blow torch and watch the sugar get all brown and crunchy!!
