Put the rice into three cups of boiling water with the cinnamon, and let it boil nearly an hour. About fifteen minutes before it is done add the raisins. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until white and creamy, then stir into them the sweet cider, remove the soup from the fire, add a little of it to the eggs and cider, stir well, and mix all together rapidly and serve at once. Two tablespoonfuls of good sherry improves it.
