This one comes from the hand of Mr. Jefferson's granddaughter, Virginia Randolph Trist. Her instructions are a little vague, as are all cookbook instructions from that time, It is very tasty and again points to Thomas Jefferson's fondness for rice.
 

Mix all of the above together and place in a 3-quart covered saucepan. Bring to a simmer on the top of the stove and then place, covered, in a 300 degree oven

Bake without disturbing or stirring for 2 hours and 45 minutes. The pudding will almost caramelize and become a pale
golden color.

Mrs. Trist used to cook this in a slow fireplace for 5 or 6 hours.
