Pumpkin Indian Pudding
The Pilgrims did not serve dessert separately. They put the dessert type dishes out with the rest of the food. Today, Indian Pudding is frequently served with ice cream on the side. My recipe here is a twist, I've added pumpkin to the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 quart plus 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Indian meal (aka cornmeal)
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- *Ice cream
Instructions:
Combine the cornmeal with 1/2 cup cold milk and add this to the hot milk stirring very well! In a baking dish blend together molasses, pumpkin, sugar, eggs, salt, spices, butter and remaining 1/2 cup of milk. Bring a quart of milk to its boiling point but do not go into rapid boil. Add the cornmeal mixture to the baking dish spreading out evenly. Bake for 3 hours at 300 degrees F. Serve while hot and with ice cream on the side.
