Make this traditional dessert ahead of time and let it cool while you use the oven for the turkey. Reheat it in the microwave and serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Add 1/2 cup raisins, if you wish.
Ingredients:
4 cups milk, divided1/2 cup yellow or white cornmeal
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 250° F. Bring 2 cups of milk just to a boil in a saucepan. Put the cornmeal in the top of a double boiler and pour the scalded milk over it, stirring constantly. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cornmeal is smooth. Add the remaining ingredients (except the milk) and stir until smooth. Pour the mixture into a buttered 1-1/2-quart baking dish, pour the remaining 2 cups of cold milk over the top, and set in a pan of hot water. Bake for 3 hours, or until the pudding is firm.

This is a wonderful recipe to get the real “flavor” of an authentic Native American recipe.
An interesting combination, but very good. Children really enjoyed the pudding warm.
The taste is great, the consistency when cool like pumpkin pie. I found though that 250 degree didn’t work very well and bumped it to 350 degrees. Will try this in the Slow-Cooker next.
