Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the water and is tender.
Add the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar to the saucepan with the cooked rice. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Add the dried cranberries and raisins, stirring to incorporate evenly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding rest for 5 minutes.
Spoon the fruited brown rice pudding into serving bowls. Garnish with sliced almonds if desired.
Serve warm or refrigerate and enjoy chilled.
