Creamy Pumpkin Rice Pudding

Ingredients:
rice, white, long-grain, regular, unenriched, cooked without salt
water, bottled, generic
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
pumpkin, raw
applesauce, canned, unsweetened, without added ascorbic acid (includes usda commodity)
sugars, granulated
spices, ginger, ground

Directions:
Rinse the rice, and cook it according to instructions (but don't add oil/butter, greasy rice will mess up this recipe) or just add the 2 cups water to a saucepan with the rice and simmer it for 15-20 minutes until fluffy.
I think microwaving the rice (please check your brand of rice's instructions) will also work if you're in a hurry but I've only done it the stovetop way so far.
Don't rinse or drain the fluffy rice!
It kills the nutrients and will also be hard to stir after this.
Add the milk, or milk variant, and stir it in well.
Then add the applesauce and meld it perfectly.
Let the mixture simmer over medium heat until it thickens.
Add the pumpkin, mix thoroughly.
Then add the sugar and spice.
Stir and let it cook until the rice is soft.
Pour into a large heatproof bowl/container, or individual serving ramekins/bowls, and let it chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
For presentation, garnish with cinnamon sticks or fresh mint leaves.
