STEAMED CRANBERRY PUDDING
Source: Farm Recipes & Food Secrets, 1993

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.)

Warm Butter Sauce
1/2 cup butter
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.
