Ingredients

    3 cups cranberries
    3/4 cups light or dark raisins
    2 1/4 cups sifted flour
    4 tsp baking soda
    3/4 cup light molasses
    1/2 cup hot water

Tips

*Any container can be used, but be aware that pudding will swell to roughly half again its original volume during cooking. DO NOT fill container more than 2/3 full.

**Pudding must be covered during cooking, but any lid will work as long as it is vented. We use canning jar lids turned upside down with the ring threaded only enough to keep from falling off. Can use tinfoil with small holes or any other makeshift lid that allows venting.

If cooked in canning jars, jars can be sealed for storage. Otherwise refrigerate until eaten. Serve warm covered with warm gingerbread butter sauce.


Directions

Rinse cranberries and raisins, drain, place in mixing bowl. Sift flour and baking soda over fruit. Add molasses and water. Stir until batter is smooth.

Scoop batter into 2 wide mouth 1 quart jars*.

Cover** jars. Place jars on trivet in deep kettle with enough boiling water to cover slightly more than half the jar.

Steam for 100 minutes or until done. Inserted knife should come out mostly clean. Pudding should be very moist, do not expect it to be dry and cake-like.
