How to Make Aunt Carrie's Indian Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan, whisk together the molasses, milk, cornmeal, salt, and spices. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and raisins. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and slightly puffed on top. The pudding should be slightly firm to the touch.
  6. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
