1 tb liquid Sugartwin has the sweetness of 4 tb or 1/4
cup sugar. American Diabetes Assoc. guidelines allow 1 ts
sugar per serving or 2 tb for a 6 serving recipe which
would taste OK to people accustomed to low sugar recipes.
Combine rice, milk, sweetener (or sugar) raisins, vanilla
and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir
occasionally until the mixture is creamy.
Core and shred apple and sprinkle with ascorbic acid color
keeper, or with a little lemon juice. Stir apple into rice
mixture. Cook a few minutes longer until apple is soft.
Serve warm or cold.
1/6 recipe made with artificial sweetener - 1 starch
choice, 1 milk
Optional: Cook 2/3 cup rice in 1 2/3 cups water. Make
pudding as above without apple and add 2 tb coconut.

NOTES:
* I used brown rice - just for S & G
** Granulated (dry) Sugar Twin is MUCH easier as it is
a volume for volume substitute for sucrose sugar.
*** Ascorbic acid is also known as vitamin C. While powder
is available, a sprinkle of lemon or lime juice works just
as well.
