About
Also known as Cherry Rice Pudding
One of the pet-names that my fiance calls me is “shoopie”. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know either, but one thing we always say is “nice, nice, nice, like shoopies and rice”. Alas, I give you: Shoopies and Rice! Also known as dried cherry rice pudding. This recipe can be served hot or cold. Makes 4 servings.
