made this for Heavenly Hash day… fun to serve. great for a potluck or as a very different side dish for holiday dinners
I’ve not tried this yet…but this is my Aunt Mae’s recipe that she passed down to me. Yes~! I’m so glad to see it here. Instead of Pineapple..she would use peaches..or even a can of mixed fruit.
Thought this was just okay. I think I like it with nuts better then rice. It did last serval days in the frig. Could easily make it 2 or 3 days ahead.
My family has made this for as long as I can remember but we call it glorified rice. Instead of the whipping cream and sugar I add cool whip to it. Also, it helps if you make the rice the day before so it is completely cooled.
I really liked this recipe. Instead of the whipping cream and sugar, I used coolwhip. Big mistake! I will definitely will follow the recipe next time I make this, other than my mistake, it was delicious!!!!
This was very light and delicious!
its easy to make and taste better second day. This is a receipe my mom made for Thanksgiving every year when I was growing up. So its a favorite of mine and my family.
I have been searching for this recipe for years. It tastes just like what I used to get in a hometown buffet that closed when I was just a kid. It is one of my favorites!!
I made this for Thanksgiving, and although I liked it, people just kinda passed by it in the buffet line. I may make it again though.
