Ingredients

2 cups Bottled Fruits (apricots, peaches, gooseberries, currants, raspberries, rhubarb, damsons, cranberries) (Adjust quantity based on preference)
1 tablespoon Sugar (Optional, to taste)
0.5 cup Whipped Cream (Optional, for serving)
2 cups Cooked Rice (For rice border, see instructions)

Instructions

1Carefully open the bottle of fruit and taste the syrup. If it's not sweet enough, add sugar to taste. Start with 1 tablespoon and stir until dissolved. Taste again and add more if needed.
2Gently spoon the bottled fruit into serving dishes. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream.
3To create a rice border, use cooked rice. Pack the rice firmly into a ring mold or shape it by hand on a serving platter. Carefully unmold the rice (if using a mold) and fill the center with the bottled fruit.
