Rice with Prune Fluff

1/2 cup rice 2 1/4 cups dried prunes 2 tablespoons sugar 3/4 cup whipping cream 2/3 cup water 1/3 cup cream 2/3 cup milk Wash the prunes thoroughly; three-quarters pound will make the required amount. Pour over them boiling water, and let stand for a few minutes, and then soak in cold water for twenty-four to thirty-six hours or until soft. Remove the seeds, rub the prunes through a colander. Steam the rice in two-thirds of a cup of water until the water is absorbed. Then add the cream and the hot milk, and steam until tender. Add the sugar to the prune puree. Place a spoonful of the steamed rice on a small plate. On top of this and beside it, place a generous spoonful of the fluff.
