Plums in red wine & basil with creamy rice pudding
Posted by Paul Heathcote on October 21, 2007 11:31 PM
TEN years ago, when I was still cooking in the kitchen full-time, I had to try and recreate what I considered really poor English dishes – among them rice pudding which I have never been particularly fond of.
I think it must have been due to my school dinner memories which were not particularly good.
Rice pudding is a dish I now love and would choose to have. However, it needs to be made well.
This recipe is incredibly simple, but quite luxurious – I particularly like to serve it with seasonal fruit, and there is nothing more seasonal at this time of year than plums or damsons.
Take a reasonable bottle of wine and braise them, reduce down the liquid to make a wonderful alcoholic “plum jam”.

Wine with this dish: PLUMS IN RED WINE & BASIL WITH CREAMY RICE PUDDING
Posted by Paul Heathcote on October 21, 2007 10:34 PM
FOR those old enough, forget the oceans of Liebrfraumilch that flooded the ’70s and ’80s, the Germans actually do make fantastic wine. This Saint Johanner Abtey Kerner Spatlese 2004, made from late harvested Kerner grapes, is delicately sweet with a soft, crisp floral finish which works perfectly with fruit based desserts. Priced £6.95 from The Purple Wine Company, tel: 0151 239 5025 or e-mail: wine@purplewine.co.uk
