Crockpot Breakfast Risotto

I made another recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking. This time for a breakfast risotto. This was pretty good. It was kind of strange eating rice for breakfast, but it was tasty, at least. We all liked it. I'll make it again sometime and I'd like to try out some other variations.

I forgot to take a picture.

Crockpot Breakfast Risotto

1/4 cup butter
3 little apples
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg
1/8 t cloves
1/4 t kosher salt
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 cups of liquid. I used a tiny can of apple juice, and half and half for the rest (I used non-homogenized whole milk)
(I added a splash of vanilla)

Turn your crock to high and add the butter so it can start melting. Wash and cut up your apples while it begins to melt. Add the rice to the butter, and stir it around to coat it nicely. If the butter isn't completely melted, don't worry. Add the apples, and spices. Stir in the juice/milk. Cover and cook on high for 3-5 hours, or on low for 6 or so.

This sounds good...something versatile and different. Maybe I'll have to try it sometime.

Ok, I guess my old comment just now showed up...I tried to write it that day that Blogger was down. Now it's posted 4 days later when I attempt to comment again :P
