Apple Cider Indian Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water scald 1/2 cup of the milk. In a bowl whisk together the cornmeal and the cider, stir the mixture into the scalded milk, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is thickened. (The mixture may appear slightly curdled.) Remove the pan from the heat, whisk in the egg, the brown sugar, the cinnamon, the salt, the butter, and the raisins, and pour the mixture into a buttered 13-by 9-inch baking pan. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup milk and bake the pudding in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 1 hour. Serve the pudding warm with the ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
• In a very large bowl, combine bread cubes, apple cubes and raisins.
• In another large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and all spices until well combined. Wish in milk and apple cider, then pour mixture over the bread cubes. Toss gently with a spatula until cubes are evenly coated. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
• Bake for about 50 minutes, until bread pudding is puffed and lightly browned, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Cool for at least 15 minutes (pudding will sink slightly) before serving.
• Store leftovers covered, in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Make pudding:
• In a heavy saucepan stir together milk and cornmeal and bring to a simmer, stirring. Stir in molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch salt and simmer mixture, stirring, 30 minutes, or until very thick. Add butter, stirring until melted. Remove pan from heat and cool pudding 20 minutes, covered.
• Make compote:
• In a saucepan simmer cider, brown sugar, water, and lemon juice, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Add fruits and simmer 5 minutes more, or until fruits are softened and plumped up.
• Put a spoonful of pudding in each of 8 shallow bowls or soup plates using a 2-ounce (1/4 cup) ice-cream scoop and top with some compote.
