  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 C self-rising flour
  • 1 C white sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 C melted butter
  • 1/2 C prepared mincemeat pie filling
  • 1/2 C whole cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 C pumpkin puree
  • 1 (8 0z.) container sour cream
  • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
  • 1/3 C confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Step 1



Directions:

Grease one 2-quart lidded pudding mold. Sift together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon; set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, butter, mincemeat, cranberry sauce and pumpkin. Add to flour mixture and mix until smooth; pour into pudding mold.

Place a rack in the bottom of a large pot, over medium heat, and fill 1/2 way up with boiling water. Place the pudding on the rack. Steam for 2 1/2 hours.

Check the pan occasionally and add more water if needed. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. When firm, place the pudding mold on a rack outside of the water for 10 minutes and unmold.

Prepare a sauce by blending together the sour cream, cream cheese and confectioners sugar. Spoon dollops over warm pudding and serve.
