One Christmas, my husband—a Navy chaplain for 20 years—had to spend the holiday overseas, away from our two children and me. He asked that I send him this recipe so he could have a taste of home. Steamed Cranberry Pudding has been in my file for more than 30 years. It was passed on by a fellow teacher who was retiring. Her family had long enjoyed it, using their own homemade sorghum molasses as a special ingredient. Chuck and I now live in a log home in a wooded area. We're visited regularly by armadillos, raccoons, wild pigs, deer, bobcats and other creatures. We enjoy watching them—but they make it difficult to establish a compost pile!

This is very close to what I have had since I was about 8 years old every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm now 64 and still love it. The recipe was handed down from my Aunts Mother in Law who was from the east coast of Canada. They came to the States over 100 years ago. My Family loves this recipe. I have made cookbooks for my boys and of course this recipe is in it.
