Preparation

1. In a saucepan, combine the milk, rice and maple syrup. Bring to a low rolling boil, then lower heat to simmer. Keep uncovered, and stir consistently until rice is cooked through and puffy (about 20-25 minutes). Remove from heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add ½ cup of the hot cooked rice to the eggs and stir to temper the eggs (prevent from scrambling).
3. Pour the egg mixture, vanilla and salt into the saucepan. Stir to combine and let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
4. Divide rice into bowls or plastic containers.
5. Top each with 1 kiwi, ¼ cup raspberries, and ½ diced apple.
