Place the cooked rice in a saucepan and cover with water. Cook for about 5 minutes or until almost all the water is absorbed. DO NOT DRAIN.
Add remaining ingredients to rice except raisins and mix together. Cook for 1/2 hour over very low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching and sticking.
Add raisins and continue cooking for 10 additional minutes. Pudding should be creamy and thick. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Enjoy!
