When I sat on my deck the other morning, sipping on my first cup of coffee of the day - I stood to take in the smell of the moist saltiness of the ocean air (God, I just wish I could see it too!) but also that distinct sweet smell of fall. The leaves are changing, beautiful colors of red, orange, bright yellows that dance and dot along what is left of green in the trees - they remind me so much of Claude Monet landscape. These senses brings to my mind all the delicious things I can now cook! What goes better with fall than Molasses? Pumpkin? Nutmeg? Allspice? Cinnamon? All of the flavors that are attributed to the fall season.
I cannot help how much of a sucker I am for "old fashioned" taste in food. Searching for a while, I finally found this recipe from the CDKitchen website, and it was by far the best I've ever made.
Old Fashioned Indian Pudding
3 cups milk1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses (I always add more, I love Molasses!)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
Directions:
Lightly grease crockpot. Preheat on high for 20 minutes. Meanwhile bring milk, cornmeal and salt to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Cover and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Gradually beat in hot cornmeal mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour into crockpot and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
Enjoy! I added Raisons, I love it and would eat it forever (if only Joshua would learn to like it!)
