Apricot Ginger Rice Pudding

I had some leftover rice from the Broccoli Beef dish. I decided I'd make some rice pudding, which is always a favorite of the kids.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups instant rice, fully cooked
• 1 box instant vanilla pudding (sugar-free if desired)
• 3 cups milk
• 1 tsp. ginger
• 1 tsp. vanilla bean
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 can apricots, cubed

Directions:

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together vanilla pudding, milk, ginger, vanilla bean, and salt. In a medium-sized saucepan, add rice, pudding mixture, and apricots. Cook stirring over medium heat until warm and bubbly.
