My grandparents were
born in Sweden. They came to Chicago and were members of a Swedish Club. This is the recipe for rice pudding from that South Side Swedish Club. The whole almond is placed in the pudding and the Swedish tradition says that the one that gets the almond will be the next to marry.
5 large eggs
3 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups cooked rice
½ cup sugar
½ t. salt
One whole almond
Freshly grated nutmeg
