SALTINE CRACKER PUDDING AN OLD PENN.DUTCH RECIPE
A few years back, I was mailed a few recipes, from my Aunt's, Penn. DUTCH friend. Everyone knows ..I collect recipes! This is one of them. The hard working Colonial Pennsylvania Dutch, were hard working people. And very frugal! We can learn a lot from them, from some of there recipes! I Wonder? Where did they get coconuts, back then?

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the pudding will taste.
- Don't overcook the pudding. The pudding should be cooked until it is just set, about 1 hour. If it is overcooked, it will be tough and rubbery.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the pudding to firm up.
- Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, fruit, and nuts.
