COOK TIME 3 Hrs
READY IN 3 Hrs 20 Min
INGREDIENTS :
* 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 2 eggs, beaten
* 1/4 cup melted butter
* 1/2 cup prepared mincemeat pie filling
* 1/2 cup whole cranberry sauce
* 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
*
* 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
* 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Grease one 2-quart lidded pudding mold. Sift together the flour, sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, butter, mincemeat, cranberry sauce and pumpkin. Add to flour mixture and mix until smooth; pour into pudding mold.
3. Place a rack in the bottom of a large pot, over medium heat, and fill 1/2 way up with boiling water. Place the pudding on the rack. Steam for 2 1/2 hours.
4. Check the pan occasionally and add more water if needed. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. When firm, place the pudding mold on a rack outside of the water for 10 minutes and unmold.
5. Prepare a sauce by blending together the sour cream, cream cheese and confectioners sugar. Spoon dollops over warm pudding and serve.
You may have many variations on this, because the filling can be any combination of mincemeat, pumpkin and/or cranberry sauce, but here’s my favorite combination.
