This post is per Elise's request. I don't know if any others of you remember eating steamed pudding, but it was one of Dad's favorites growing up. Give it a try if you want something really yummy!
Marcelle Belliston's Steamed Pudding
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup grated potatoes
2 cups raisins (I usually add a little less)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp each of salt, cinnamon, soda, nutmeg
1/4 cup melted butter
Mix ingredients together. Grease 2 - 3 large peanut butter jars or wide mouth quart jars. Put a cloth in the bottom of a pot that is tall enough to put a lid on with the jars inside. Put 3 - 4 inches of water in the pan and place the jars inside. Turn heat on medium and put the lid on the pan. Bring water to a boil and let the pudding steam for 2 - 2 1/2 hours until carrots and potatoes are soft. Watch to make sure the pan doesn't boil dry. Add more water if needed.
It's more delicious with the sauce!
