Mom's Christmas Carrot Pudding image

This is a tradition in my family and everyone looks forward to it. It's almost like a carrot cake and the sauce may sound a little odd but I never have it without it.

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup grated raw carrot
1 cup grated raw potato
1 cup grated raw apple
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup nuts
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash allspice
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons vinegar

Steps:

  • Put everything for the pudding in a big bowl and mix it up so it is combined.
  • Place batter in greased molds and carefully cover with tinfoil.
  • You do not want any water falling over into the batter or it will be ruined.
  • Put molds in a pot big enough to fit leaving a little room around the edges to pour the water into the pot.
  • Fill the pot with water halfway up the side of the molds.
  • Cover with lid and steam for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Check to make sure the pot doesn't run dry.
  • The pudding is done when it has a cake-like look to it.
  • You may have to steam for a longer period of time.
  • It is best to make this a few days ahead of time and cool it in a pantry or fridge so that the flavors may blend.
  • Sauce: Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice.
  • Add water.
  • Cook until thickens and clear looking.
  • Add vinegar and stir.
  • Make this the day you are going to serve.
