Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup milk
3 cups soft bread crumbs, (5 slices bread)
1/2 cup shortening, melted
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped candied citron
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup packed brown sugar or granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup light corn syrup

Steps:

Generously grease bottom and side of 4-cup heatproof mold. In large bowl, pour milk over bread crumbs. Stir in shortening and molasses until well mixed. Stir in remaining pudding ingredients until well blended. Pour into mold. Cover with foil.
Place mold on rack in Dutch oven. Pour in boiling water up to level of rack. Cover and heat to boiling. Keep water boiling over low heat about 3 hours or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (If adding water during steaming is necessary, uncover and quickly add boiling water.)
In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, mix all sauce ingredients. Cook over low heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Unmold pudding; cut into slices. Serve warm with sauce.
