Preparation

Step 1

You can order a pudding bag online, or make your own out of cotton and shoe string. If you don't have anything available, you can cut a large corner off a white cotton pillow case. You can trim it off after you tie up the bag with the pudding in it.

To make the pudding, mix the butter and sugar together until creamy. Stir in the egg and milk. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix well. Add blueberries (preferably frozen ones) and put the pudding mixture in the bottom of the bag with the help of a cake spatula, and boil for 1 hour 10 minutes. You can boil it in clean water, or put it in with your boiling vegetables.

About 15 minutes before the pudding is almost done, its time to make your sauce. In a small pot add water, brown sugar, and butter. Bring to a boil. Next, dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold water. Stir into boiling mixture till it thickens then add 1 tsp vanilla or butterscotch. Simmer it on low for a couple minutes.

When the pudding is done, remove from bag, **be careful as it will be very hot**. Cut up, and put in small dessert bowls, and top with sauce. Its absolutely DELICIOUS!! Again, instead of having it as a desert, you can also plate it up with your turkey dinner or jiggs dinner.

​

Its best to clean the bag in the sink in hot water with a bit of dish detergent (not a lot), rinse really well, and hang to dry. It will be very slimy, but its still best to clean by hand. If its done with the regular laundry, it make keep the taste of the laundry detergent or fabric softener on it and go into your pudding the next time.

The bag WILL stain. Don't worry about it. It wont affect the next pudding.

The bag can also be used for peas pudding.
