Title: Indian Pudding (Roberta Krieger)
Categories: Dessert
Yield: 6 Servings

1	qt	Milk
2/3	c	Cornmeal
3/4	c	Molasses
1/4	c	Butter [I've tried margarine, but it doesn't taste the same]
3	tb	Sugar
1	ts	Ginger
1	ts	Salt

Supposedly, this is an authentic recipe from Daniel Boone's wife Rebecca.

Ice cream [I prefer vanilla]

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bring milk to a boil in the top part of a double boiler. Stir in cornmeal and cook over hot water for 15 minutes. Stir in molasses [I use the light variety, but I guess dark would work as well], and cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, sugar, ginger, and salt. Turn into an oven casserole and bake 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Serve warm with ice cream.

Daniel and Rebecca served this warm with fresh-churned butter. By "Jyoti X Ananthanarayanan;951;temp6;" on
