Notes: The original recipe called for 4 cloves of garlic, but it was way too much, so I decided to omit it from my version of the recipe. It is pretty sweet, which is why I suggested lower quantities of apple/pear/raisins above. I also reduced the amount of apple juice that the rice is cooked in from 2 cups.

Notes 2: I like how crunchy it is.
