Cranberry Pudding {Flop}


When you try new recipes, sometimes they flop. Well, I don't think this cranberry pudding from Magnolia Days' blog flopped so much as it was not liked at my house. I received three - really six - thumbs down when I served this. But I wanted to post this anyway because (1) someone out there might like this - I didn't think it was that bad and (2) I wanted to debunk the myth that I just wiggle my nose and culinary magic happens. I wish that were the case, but I definitely make things that go straight into the garbage...just like everyone else. So, here goes...a cranberry pudding that was not an instant hit. Maybe a hard sauce would have been a better topping than the light dusting of powdered sugar.

I don't blame this recipe for my culinary failure - at all! It just wasn't my family's taste.

1-1/2 C white whole wheat flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t freshly ground pink Himalaya salt
2 C fresh cranberries
1/3 C boiling water
1/2 C unsulphered molasses

Lightly butter a baking dish. In a bowl, sift together the dry ingredients, toss in the berries and the molasses. Pour the water over it all and mix until blended. Spoon the batter into the pan and cover with foil. Place the dish into a larger baking dish filled with water to about halfway up the sides of the pan. Bake at 325 for an hour. Let cool and invert onto a serving platter.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
