Carrs Hill Pineapple Rice


4 c. cooked rice that has been removed from pan it was cooked in
with a fork so as not to mash the grains.
2 c. undrained, crushed pineapple
1 c. sugar
1/2 lb. butter
2 tsp. nutmeg

In a separate pan (from the one rice was cooking in),
place pineapple, sugar, butter and let simmer over a low fire.
When it reaches a thin syrup stage, remove from stove and add nutmeg.

Butter baking dish and place in alternate layers the cooked rice
and the pineapple sauce, the last layer being pineapple.
Bake in 350° oven, 25-30 min. or until lightly browned on top.
If rice seems to be getting too dry before browning,
carefully add a few spoons of water.
Serves 8.

This could easily be used as a dessert, but it's a wonderful side dish with pork.
