With it being National Indian Pudding I just had to find you a recipe I must admit I have never made it myself so I don’t really know what it is although it does look very delicious so I will be giving it a shot so that my family can have a go at trying it out too

 

Because I don’t really know a lot about this pudding here for you is an excerpt about it from the recipe site cooking.nytimes.com

 

 

Indian pudding was a compromise. A mass of cornmeal, milk and molasses, baked for hours, it was born of the Puritans’ nostalgia for British hasty pudding and their adaptation to the ground-corn porridges of their Native American neighbors. Originally served as a first course, it grew sweeter (but not too sweet; Puritanism runs deep) and migrated to the end of supper.

November 13 is National Indian Pudding Day

 

 

Here are today’s five thing to know about Indian Pudding:

1. It is interesting to note that the name Indian pudding does not refer to the natives but in fact is used to identify the main ingredient which is cornmeal and was earlier called Indian meal.
2. The Native Indian pudding is a combination of cornmeal and molasses and is often mixed with fruits like Apple and raisins before being baked. This day may not be a national holiday and you really don’t need to wait till the national pudding day to actually enjoy the sweet.
3.  Native American Indians were a very important part of the first Thanksgiving feast ever celebrated in the Americas.
4.  Since this tradition has been upheld from decades past it is interesting to see it approach before Thanksgiving.
5. The national Indian pudding Day is utilized to enjoy the savory and sweet puddings which are part of the Native American Indian cuisine.
