You need what is called a "pudding bag" for this. You can order them online from Downhome website or you can just get a clean WHITE cloth about the size of a half pillowcase and tie it with white string.
Pudding
*4 slices of bread soaked in 1/4 cup hot water
*1 cup flour
* 1-1/2 cup blueberries fresh
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoon butter
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon allspice
* 4 tablespoon sugar
Mix all together, place in tightly tied pudding bag, boil for 1 and a 1/2 hours

* 2 tablespoon flour

* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup water
* 1 teaspoon vanilla.

I just returned from Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, where I ate an amazing blueberry bread pudding with hot brown sugar sauce at an Acadian restaurant. I am going to try your recipe to see if I can recreate it at home. Thanks.

DeleteAnonymous... just going by my Grandmother's recipe.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was mennonite and they called this bobbit. Cooked it in a double boiler rather than a bag. She used raisins, I will have to try with blueberries.
ReplyDeletePlastic containers are good to use instead of pudding bag...but use tea plate to place in the bottom of pot so it wouldn't stick.... and cover as usual..
ReplyDeleteMy mom used molasses so good boiled in a pudding bag l
