March 15: A little quinoa dessert

I have another half gallon of apple cider left over from the last CSA package that I was having trouble using up.  I was also looking for a light fun dessert.  When I was searching the web for a quick light dessert, I ran across a recipe for quinoa pudding on Allrecipes.com.  I adapted the recipe for my rice cooker:
