											| How To Cook: | 
										 
										
											 | 
										 
										
											 | 
										 
	1. Put the rice, water, butter and salt in a large, deep, covered casserole and cook in the microwave oven 12 minutes, stirring twice.
  
 |  
	2. Add the sugar and milk and cook, covered, 5 minutes more in the microwave oven. Beat the egg yolks smooth.
  
 |  
	3. Stir in the vanilla. Stir in a few spoonfuls of the hot pudding. Pour into the pudding and mix well.
  
 |  
	4. Continue cooking, covered, stirring often, until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the spoon well. DO NOT LET IT GET TOO HOT OR BOIL.
  
 |  
	5. Stir in the figs. Pour into serving dishes. Serve with the apricot sauce (recipe below). Garnish with whipped cream and a whole fig.
  
 |  
| 
	APRICOT SAUCE:
 |  
	1. Put all the ingredients in a blender or through a food mill or sieve.
  
 |  
| 
	NOTE:
 |  
| 
	    If the pudding gets too hot after the egg yolks have been added, the mixture will curdle and separate. If that happens, beating a little of the mixture into another egg yolk and then beating the egg yolk into the hot pudding will help some.
