Glorified rice is a dessert salad popular in the Midwestern cuisine served in Minnesota and other states in the Upper Midwest, United States[1][2] and other places with Norwegian populations.[citation needed] It is popular in more rural areas with sizable Lutheran populations of Scandinavian heritage.[citation needed] It is made from rice, crushed pineapple, and whipped cream.[2][3][4] It is often decorated with maraschino cherries.[5]
The long-established recipe has been the subject of many newspaper articles.[6] In 1995, Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson authored a humorous book comparing Lutheran and Catholic traditions called They Glorified Mary…We Glorified Rice: A Catholic–Lutheran Lexicon.[7][8] The book includes a recipe for glorified rice. The dish is also included in the title of Carrie Young's Prairie Cooks: Glorified Rice, Three-Day Buns, and Other Recipes and Reminiscences.[9] Glorified rice often turns up at potlucks and church picnics.[10][11]
