rice salad!

[dragenfly]

1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/4 cup sliced fresh peaches
1 cup uncooked white rice
1/3 cup golden raisins
2/3 cup flaked coconut
5/8 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup slivered almonds
12 leaves lettuce
1/4 cup sliced almonds

In a saucepan bring salted water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer--without stirring--for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and chill until cold.
In a medium bowl, mix together pineapple, strawberries, peaches, a heaping cup of the cold rice, raisins and coconut. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whip together cream, sugar, vanilla, ginger and salt until stiff. Fold in rice mixture, and stir in 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
Spoon mixture onto lettuce leaf beds, and sprinkle each portion with 1/4 cup sliced almonds.
