You know, Kimi, I really like doing the carnival this way, as opposed to Mr. Linky. There’s just something more interesting and personal about it.

Thanks for a great carnival!

Hey Meghan,

What a lovely sounding recipe. It sounds so traditional (I love desserts that connect back to the past.). Thanks for sharing!

This is a Cranberry Pudding, similar to a traditional plum pudding. It's really tasty but worth noting that the cake itself is dark and a little tangy from the cranberries - not especially sweet. The vanilla sauce really completes it and makes it a sweet dessert!

Cranberry Steamed Pudding:
3 c raw cranberries, defrosted
3/4 c molasses
3 tsp soda dissolved in 3/4 c hot water
2 1/4 c flour

Mix ingredients. Put in greased (coffee size) can 2/3 full. Put an inch of water in the bottom of a crockpot and put can in with crockpot lid on. Cook on hi for 2-3 hours. Cool on rack before slicing and serving with vanilla sauce. I'm sure this could also be done in a dutch oven or something on the stove or in the oven.

Vanilla Sauce:
1/2 c. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. honey
1 c. milk

Mix all ingredient in saucepan and heat through. Serve over pudding.

Okay…I just made KristenM’s Old-Fashioned Hot Chocolate Pudding for the kid’s afternoon snack…YUM IS RIGHT!!! It was very easy to make and it’s being gobbled up as I write.

Yeah, it’s basically a modified version from the More-With-Less cookbook, which seems to have been around forever. They used white sugar and cornstarch, and I use rapadura and arrowroot powder (in slightly different quantities).

Kristen,

Yummy recipe! My family did a similar one growing up, which I adored. I would be glad to add your post later in the week, if you ever have the chance to blog about it too!

Anita,

It's so weird! I have checked it several times, and it always shows the link to this post! LOL

Fix, it was weird. For some reason your link was in the title link field. I have no idea why! Have a wonderful day!

I was going to put up a lovely post today for the carnival, but wasn't able to pull it off in time. I'll share my recipe with you guys now and roll out the photos in a blog post later this week.

Old-Fashioned Hot Chocolate Pudding

Combine in a saucepan:
1/3 C. Rapadura
3 T. arrowroot powder
2 T. Dutch cocoa
2 C. milk

Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly.

Just as it begins to thicken, add:
1 t. vanilla
1 T. butter

Stir until smooth, and serve hot.

YUM.

Happy holiday cooking!
