As
autumn approaches, the first
harvest comes upon us. For the festival of
Lughnasadh, the first of three "
harvest" holidays before
midwinter, a nice hearty hot pudding is fun when served with vanilla
ice cream! It's a great treat for early autumn or even mid-autumn, and goes well with all the other bready stuff that's common at harvest time. This pudding is very moist and rich-tasting (a heavy
molasses taste is apparent), and the raisins are optional.

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300ยบ F. Butter an 8 x 8 dish. Heat the milk in a medium saucepan. Whisk in cornmeal and stir until mix thickens--it takes about ten minutes. Add the other ingredients and stir until heated through. Pour into the dish and bake for three hours. Serve warm and with ice cream.
Yield: 8 servings
