Delicious pudding. This worked very well in a traditional pudding form. I noticed some of the reviewers had problems with the sauce. I assume that is due to the wording "1 cup sweetened whipped cream". I believe this should read "1 cup whipping cream" which is then to be added to the slightly browned butter-sugar mixture and THEN boiled. Evaporated milk may be substituted for the cream which lends a very delicious flavor....and this coming from a cream-lover! Without a liquid the butter-sugar mass will simply scorch.
I had to steam this well beyond the 2 hours unfortunately but I don't think that was due to any fault on the recipe's part. I will make this again but the next time I will definitely add more fruit and omit the nutmeg in favour of either more cinnamon or perhaps some mixed spice as I'm not a big fan of nutmeg and I found it a bit dominant in this recipe. In addition the cranberries although I had floured them all migrated to the top of the basin whilst cooking which resulted in a rather uneven distribution of fruit throughout the pudd. As for the sauce I incorporated a 1/2 cup of double cream right into the sugar mixture before carefully reducing it to the consistency of a hard sauce. The thick exceedingly rich butterscotch of the sauce complimented the pudding perfectly.
Absolutely the best dessert I have ever had. I pick fresh cranberries every year and can't believe how delicious this was. I took this to work and everyone asked for the recipe. I'll make it again and again.
This was unbelievable. I wowed my entire extended family at Christmas dinner with this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly -well I coarsely chopped the crans first to spread out the tartness a bit- and it came out perfectly. The caramel sauce was amazing it will be my new standard for sure (mine crystalized but I just stirred in more cream to smooth it out.) Pretty much everyone who has tried this has asked me for the recipe.
Really nice - used an antique pudding mold and did not have time for the sauce (used storebought - ugh) but the pudding is delightful. Coarsely chopping the cranberries helps distribute the flavor. Perfect ending to Christmas dinner!
I chose this recipe over the other cranberry puddings because of the ingredients - especially the cinnamon and nutmeg. We love nutmeg but 1 tsp. is WAY too much - will reduce to 1/4 tsp. next time. Also experienced same problem as previous reviewer - my cranberries were clustered in the center. Using a pudding mold instead of a casserole will probably solve this problem. Will place a rack in bottom of stock pot next time.
Very good! Next time I make it I'll only steam it for 1 hr. and 45 minutes. I went the full 2 hours and it seemed alittle over cooked to me. But it was great. Thanks you for a great recipe.
This is very easy to make only used 1/4 teaspoon numeg and added 1 teaspoon vanilla. Only boiled for 1 1/2 hours and was enough time. Turned out perfect.
The cranberry pudding was great. The sauce didn't turn out. I will try it again next year.
