Steamed Cranberry Pudding image

One Christmas, my husband-a Navy chaplain for 20 years-had to spend the holiday overseas, away from our two children and me. He asked that I send him this recipe so he could have a taste of home. Steamed Cranberry Pudding has been in my file for more than 30 years. It was passed on by a fellow teacher who was retiring. Her family had long enjoyed it, using their own homemade sorghum molasses as a special ingredient. Chuck and I now live in a log home in a wooded area. We're visited regularly by armadillos, raccoons, wild pigs, deer, bobcats and other creatures. We enjoy watching them-but they make it difficult to establish a compost pile!

This pudding was a bit of a disappointment. It was dry and lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.

I loved the texture of this pudding, but I found the cranberry flavor to be a bit overpowering. I might try using half the amount of cranberries next time.

This pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I would use less sugar.

This steamed cranberry pudding was a hit at our holiday gathering! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the cranberry flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the pudding. It was easy to make, too, and I loved that I could make it ahead o
