->Cranberry Pudding 02 <-

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup molasses

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup hot water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup cranberries, cut in half

1 1/2 cups flour

Warm Butter Sauce (recipe follows)

Using a wooden spoon, combine the sugar and molasses in a medium

bowl. Mix the soda in hot water, and pour it into the sugar mixture.

Add the salt and cranberries, and stir well. Add the flour and mix. Butter a 1 pound coffee can. Pour the dough in and put the cover

on the can. Place in a deep kettle of hot water. Put the lid on

the kettle and steam for 3 hours, keeping the water in the kettle

simmering. (Watch so this doesn't simmer dry. Add water to the

kettle if necessary, but be careful no water gets into the pudding

can.)

1/2 cup cream

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a heavy saucepan, combine the butter, cream and sugar. Boil on

medium heat until clear. Stir in the vanilla and serve hot over

hot cranberry pudding.
