      Do you leave the cooked pudding in the mold until completely cooled?

        Hi Susannah, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, I’m so sorry about that sometimes an ingredient is missing in my recipes, its a over site of mine. I used 1 tsp of ground cloves, you can use a little more it you wish. This is a lovely pudding and enjoy to the fullest. I did fix the error in the recipe and my video do tell you all of the ingredients needed. 🙂 Bonita

          This was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. We were trying to recreate my great grandmother’s Christmas menu and this is one of the desserts she would have made. I didn’t have a pudding mold so I used a loaf pan covered with aluminum foil and tied with a rubber band. Presentation wasn’t as pretty as yours but it was fine. I did not add raisins and used lemon zest only for the sauce, not orange. Hope you’re having a great Christmas!

            Hi Susannah, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, thats ok to use whatever pan you have available, just as long as the pudding don’t go in the water “only steam” I’m glad you made the molasses pudding the way you like it. 🙂 Happy New Year…Bonita

              Hi Bonita, I’ve been following you for years and great having some good home style meals that my mom used to make me as I’ve been in Alberta now for 16yrs.

              I’ve been looking for a similar molasses/rasin pudding similar to the one above but my mom use to boil it in a pudding bag with Sunday dinner and when she took the bag off it, it would have thin smooth skin on it. Do you happen to know how this one is made? Thanks a million.

              Hi Mark: Thank you for your message and I’m sorry I’m just getting to your message. I’m so glad you are enjoying our channel and its bringing back fond memories. This recipe for steamed molasses pudding can be cooked with your dinner in the boiler using a pudding bag. You can also steam it on its own in a seperate boiler so the liquor don’t get sweet, this will change the taste of your gravy. Also you can play with the recipe if you like less sugar or molasses, just make the batter and scoop into your pudding bag, leaving some room in the bag to expand, this recipe could be more for a pudding bag but make two. https://youtu.be/XtT9-AebkrY This recipe is a boiled raisin cake that also can be made in the pudding bag. Enjoy Bonita

      Greetings from Alberta. My first ever steamed pudding is in the boiler as we speak. I am hoping for great things, so thank you. You are a very good teacher, Bonita, you make every technique seem simple and easy to accomplish. So, many thanks for that as well.

      We just finished off our Christmas supper with your steamed molasses pudding for dessert. I added blackberries (crow berries) and partridgeberries instead of the raisins for a more festive touch. It was the best steamed pudding I’ve ever made. I should also thank you for your help in locating a pudding tin. I got one for Christmas. That definitely added to my success. 😉 Merry Christmas!
