Zest and juice of 2 oranges
3/4 cup water

Ice with orange icing.
Very moist!
Orange icing
2 cups icing sugar
Orange juice.
Add enough juice to make an icing consistency. More juice can be added if it is too dry.
A bit of zest in the icing makes it very pretty!
Slow cooker Creamed rice! (approx 3 hours)
1 1/2 cups of long grain rice
6 cups of milk + 1 cup extra (if required)
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 pinches of salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
Put all ingredients into the slow cooker. Turn onto high for 2 hours and then down to low for the last hour. Stir every now and again, particularly towards the end of the 3 hours.
You may need to add some more milk (the extra cup) towards the end of the cooking time. It really just depends how wet you like your creamed rice.
Serve with stewed fruit if desired and gorgeous hot or cold.
You can also add double the quantity of cinnamon if you like (I personally found it a bit strong, so I cut the quantity down by half)
If you dont have a slow cooker, you can also do it on the stove, in a heavy bottomed saucepan over a very low heat. (will take about 45 min)
Sooooo yummy!
