1. Put the rice, milk and nutmeg into a large microwaveable bowl. Cover with cling film, pierce it, then cook on High for 5 mins. Stir and leave to stand for 1 min, then return to the microwave for a further 5-6 mins or until the rice is cooked and all the milk absorbed. Remove from the microwave and stand for a further 2 mins.
2. Put the honey, apricots and orange juice into another microwaveable bowl and cook on High for 1 min until the apricots have plumped up. Stir the syrupy apricots, fromage frais and a pinch of orange zest into the rice. Serve straight away in bowls, topped with a sprinkling of almonds, a little more orange zest and a drizzle of honey to taste.

'I ended up making two batches as my husband had second helpings and I wanted some for breakfast. The fromage frais makes it creamy, while the fruit and zest remind you that it's a healthy pud.'

  I tried this last night, but it did not work for me. I did not feel the pudding rice cooked properly in the microwave and felt the orange flavour too strong - did not work with the fromage frais. There are much better rice pudding recipes on this sight.
