Title: Indian Pudding
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 6 Servings

1 qt Milk
2/3 c Cornmeal
3/4 c Molasses
1/4 c Butter [I've tried
-margarine, but it doesn't
-taste the same]
3 tb Sugar
1 ts Ginger
1 ts Salt

Supposedly, this is an authentic recipe from Daniel Boone's wife Rebecca.

Ice cream [I prefer vanilla]

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bring milk to a boil in the top part of a
double boiler. Stir in cornmeal and cook over hot water for 15 minutes.
Stir in molasses [I use the light variety, but I guess dark would work as
well], and cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir in butter,
sugar, ginger, and salt. Turn into an oven casserole and bake 1 1/2 - 2
hours. Serve warm with ice cream.

Daniel and Rebecca served this warm with fresh-churned butter.
