Hello friends!
I write you from a bus, on my way to great adventures! But you’ll have to stay tuned to know more about that..
Some days ago I was shopping at the market close to where we live and, as it always happen when one shops while hungry, I wanted to buy myself something good and sweet. I then decided I would buy a ready made rice porridge with some jam (there are several options). Well, instead of doing that, I just bought some milk and decided to make it myself, not only to satisfy a momentary craving, but also for the future breakfasts. With it I made this absolutely painless cinnamon pear jam with chia seeds. Even though it’s not necessary to boil the fruits for a chia seed jam, I decided to do it in order to smash them a bit and mix the pear and cinnamon flavors well.
- 180 g of porridge rice
- 1 dl of water
- 1 liter of milk*
- half a teaspoon of vanilla sugar or some drops of vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 3 pears
- half a teaspoon of lemon juice
- cinnamon to taste
- 1 teaspoon of chia seeds
- Pour the water in a saucepan and bring it to shimmer
- Add the rice and let it boil for few minutes
- Add the milk, the vanilla and the salt while mixing
- Cook on a low heat for 45 minutes stirring every once and a while**
- Clean, peel and cute the pears
- Place the pears, the lemon juice and the cinnamon in a saucepan and smash the pears with a fork
- Bring to boiling point and boil for few minutes
- Add the chia seeds
- Put the jam in a clean jar and let it cool
** Keep the porridge covered, but be careful because the milk could suddenly rise up and flood your stove đŸ˜‰
