Wash and hull the strawberries.

In a saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries break down and form a jam-like consistency.

In another saucepan, bring milk to a simmer. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy.

Stir in vanilla extract into the rice pudding.

Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled with a generous spoonful of homemade strawberry jam on top.
