Recipe is nice, but Ris a l'amande means German rice.

That may just be, but I have newer seen it outside og Denmark ....
Ris à l'amande translates to almond rice not German rice. Ris is Danish for rice, à l'amande is French with amande meaning almond. The French word for German is Allemande (all one word) which sounds like à l'amande but is completely different. Anyway ris à l'amande is delicious and I shall be eating it on Christmas eve at the Danish Church in London and hoping for the whole almond and the prize of a marzipan pig!
The recipe is correct, but you are missing the sweet, temperated cherry sauce.
Do you have a recipe for the kirsebaersovs? I lived in DK for 2 years about 3 years ago and really want to make ris a l`amande, but unfortunatly in the US we don't have kirsebaersovs or saft, do you have any ideas?
Well, up here in Denmark cherry sauce is easily found ready-made an of good quality, but it is a Danish-only specialty it seems.
If you have access to canned sweeet cherries, the rest of the way should be easy. Here are a few links:

Another option would be the Italian specialty called Amarena, pickeled, sweet cherries. Many Danish families are using that as a substitute for cherry sauce.
WE had this gorgeous pudding with Danish friends - with cherry sauce - quite excellent. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Lovely to find out about the prize of a marzipan pig.
