Damson Plum Rice (Rice Cooker)

Ingredients:
4 scoops Rice
8 TBS Beef Gelatin
2 TBS Sea Salt
2 tsp Cream of Tartar
4-10 oz Damson Plum Preserves
Water to 4 cup fill line
4 TBS Coconut Oil

1. Blend dry ingredients.
2. Mix Preserves with a little water to thin and mix with dry ingredients. 
3. Add water to 4 cup line, mix a little, watching for gelatin clumps.  
4. Add coconut oil.
5. Cook  
6. When finished cooking, fluff rice and serve hot.

I started with  the lessor amount of preserves, not knowing how it would work.  I liked the sweet tart and will be adding more next time.  I think you could substitute just about any preserve for the plum.  I served this with some homegrown ham steak. I thought it was WOW!...it wasn't quite sticky/saucy enough for Ketchup boy.

2-4 cups orange juice
4 TBS coconut oil
water to 4 cup line, as needed
Black pepper (optional)

1. Add dry ingredients in order and stir to blend.

1 cup Salsa
4 scoops Rice (rice cooker scoop is about 3/4 of a cup of actual rice)
Water to 4 cup fill line
2 TBS Coconut oil or Butter

1. Put broth in pot and sprinkle with powdered ingredients, so gelatin can soak up some liquid.
2. When soaked, put rice and salsa into pot and stir.
3. Fill to 4 cup line marked on pot with water (or add extra broth).  
4. Add a plop of oil or butter.
5. Cook.

My 4 cup rice cooker allows for setting a timer to start cooking at a later time AND keeps the food warm for up to 14 hours. Very handy!
