Pear Conde
1 cup rice
3 pears
2 cups boiling water
1 quart raspberries or straw- 1 teaspoon salt berries
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
Wash the rice and cook it in the boiling water until the water is absorbed, then add the salt and milk and continue cooking until the rice is soft. Put into small molds and chill. Turn out and serve on a platter surrounded by halves of pears. Fill the pear cavities with one-half the fresh raspberries or strawberries, crushed and sweetened. Pour the remainder of the crushed, sweetened berries over the rice and pears. A spoonful of whipped cream with each serving is a great addition to this dish.
