Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

Butter and flour for lining the baking pan
3 3/4 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup ground, blanched almonds
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
3 cups fine bread crumbs
1 1/2 sticks butter, melted and cooled
2/3 cup milk
3 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 tablespoon double acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup cranberry juice
1 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup cranberries

Steps:

  • Butter a 2-quart steamed pudding mold and line it with wax paper and then butter and flour the paper. In a food processor coarsely chop cranberries. Transfer to a bowl and add almonds, sugar, flour, orange zest, ginger, cinnamon and allspice and combine. In another bowl mix bread crumbs, melted butter, milk, eggs, baking powder, sugar and salt. Combine the bread crumb mixture with the cranberry mixture.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared mold, a little at a time, tapping the mold as it is filled to eliminate any air bubbles. Cover the mold tightly with a lid and tie with a towel wrung out in cold water and floured. Tie a knot at the top of the towel to facilitate removal of the mold from the kettle.
  • Set a rack in the bottom of a kettle and add enough simmering water to reach 3 inches up the sides of the mold. Transfer the mold to the kettle. Keep the water at a brisk but not a rolling boil on the stove top. Cover the kettle with a lid.
  • Steam the pudding for 2 hours, checking occasionally to make certain the water remains at a boil, adding more water throughout the cooking process as necessary.
  • To test for doneness, insert a skewer in the center of the pudding. It should come out with crumbs adhering to it. Return the lid to the mold and transfer it to a rack. The pudding will stay warm in the mold, covered, for several hours.
  • To make the glaze combine cranberry juice, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Simmer the juice, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and swirl gently until a candy thermometer reads 250 degrees. Add whole cranberries and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Let the glaze cool and then chill it, covered, until ready to serve. To serve, unmold the pudding onto a serving plate and pour the cranberry glaze over it.

Provided by Steve P.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces fresh cranberries or 12 ounces frozen cranberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup kirsch
2 tablespoons kirsch
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Steam your pudding in a deep pot with a tight-fitting lid, so that the steam has room to circulate.
  • Keep a kettle of hot water on hand to refill the pot if necessary.
  • Do not allow the pudding to cool much longer than fifteen minutes, or you may have trouble removing it from the mold.
  • Generously butter a 7 1/2-cup steam-pudding mold, and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, 1/4 cup kirsch, and cinnamon stick.
  • Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cranberries break down and mixture thickens.
  • Remove from heat, discard cinnamon stick, and cool.
  • Evenly spread 1/2 cup of the cooled cranberry mixture onto the bottom of the pudding mold, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the hot-water bath: Fill a large, 11-by-5 1/4-inch pot one-third full with water.
  • Set over high heat, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and keep at a simmer until pudding is ready to cook.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy, about four minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, mixing until completely blended.
  • In three additions, alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the egg mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and blending well after each addition.
  • Add dried cranberries and the remaining cranberry mixture to the batter, and mix until well blended.
  • Pour batter into pudding mold to within 1/2 an inch of the top, and cover mold tightly with its lid (if the mold doesn't have a lid, cover with a round of parchment paper and then aluminum foil, and secure with a rubber band).
  • Submerge a folded dish towel or a round sack onto the bottom of the large water-bath pot.
  • Place the pudding mold into the water bath, resting on the towel, so that the water comes halfway up the sides of the mold.
  • Cover the water bath, and gently simmer the pudding for about 2 hours and 20 minutes, or until pudding has set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove pudding mold from the water bath and cool 15 minutes on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, pour cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons kirsch and sifted confectioners’ sugar.
  • Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Unmold pudding onto a serving platter.
  • Serve with kirsch-flavored whipped cream.
