How to make rum raisin rice pudding:
In a small bowl, mix the raisins and the rum together. Allow them to soak while the rice pudding is cooking. Drain the excess rum from the raisins after 20 minutes.
In a medium-size saucepan over low heat, bring the milk, sugar, and salt to nearly scalding temperature. The milk should not be allowed to simmer, but it will steam when stirred at the near-scalding point.
Add the rice to the milk and continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 22 minutes, until the rice is creamy and tender. Remove the rice pudding from the heat and stir in the rum-soaked raisins, along with the vanilla extract.
Pour the rice pudding into a lightly buttered mold and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or serve it warm.
