Method

Heat Marsala, brandy, orange juice, and sugar in a small saucepan until sugar dissolves.

Add prunes and orange zest, then simmer for five minutes until liquid reduces by half.

Combine rice, 1 liter of milk, cinnamon, and grated nutmeg in a large non-stick saucepan.

Simmer gently for 20 minutes while stirring regularly until the rice is creamy.

Stir in sugar, remaining milk, and mixed peel, then simmer for 35 minutes until tender.

Toast almonds in a dry frying pan over low heat until lightly browned.

Stir a pinch of sea salt into the rice and remove the cinnamon stick.

Serve the pudding with the prunes in the center, toasted almonds, and double cream.
