Steamed Cranberry Pudding

Ingredients

Pudding

• 2 cups cranberries, cut or sliced
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

Sauce

• 1 3/4 sticks butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light cream or canned milk

Instructions

Pudding

1. Mix all together and steam for about one hour in greased tin cans filled 1/2 to 2/3 full. Cover with wax paper tied on loosely with string. This will keep the water off the top of the pudding when steaming.

Sauce

1. Cook in a double boiler until sauce is blended. This takes quite a long time. If you use the microwave, the sauce will blend in more quickly. Add vanilla extract, rum or brandy to taste. Serve warm over pudding.
