1/2 cup golden raisins
1 cup boiling water
1/3 cup slivered almonds
3 1/2 cups cooked medium or long-grain rice, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch salt
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest

In a bowl, place the raisins and cover with the water.

In a large saucepan, combine the rice, milk, cream, sugar and salt.
