Cook 1-1/2 cups rice (in 4 cups water; could be cooked in milk, if you eat dairy products)
Combine:
- 4 duck eggs (if you use chckn eggs, add an extra)
- 1 C honey or sugar
- 2-1/2 C Rice Dream
- 2 tsp almond extract
Place mixture in a large bowl (I use my Tupperware that’s-a-bowl). Stir in rice and 4 cups chopped, pitted cherries. Pour into greased 3-quart casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 90 minutes. Takes only 60 minutes if divided into two smaller portions.
This can be mixed ahead and held overnight in the refrigerator, to be baked in the morning.

If you eat dairy products, substitute 3 C cream for the rice dream
