morgana made indian fruit pudding at the freeman farm today.
she heated milk over the fire and then added cornmeal until the batter was a little thicker than a cake batter. then a little salt was added, and then molasses. lastly, chopped pears from the trees around the farm were stirred in. it was then poured into this bundt pan (it's a pottery pan, handmade and fired in the village).
the receipt in the freeman farm cookbook.
the receipt calls for the pudding to be boiled. however, they bake their fruit puddings in the bake kettle with hot coals covering it over the top. they only boil their bread puddings, and they usually do that when they make soup (it'll go right into the soup pot in a cloth).
pickles!
after sturbridge this evening, morgana asked greg to stop in glastonbury at robb's farm stand to pick up ice cream. they also sell eggs. this donkey was wandering around with the goats.
Hello! Thanks for your comment on my blog - so nice to hear from you! Hope all is well with you and yours - the Indian fruit pudding looks delicious and how fun to meet a donkey at the ice cream stand. :) Cheers, Annie
ReplyDeleteHow do they make the pickles? With salt or vinegar?
ReplyDeleteI think they use vinegar.
DeleteSo not the really old-fashioned way.
