1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp. Morton's salt
2 Tbsp. cold water
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. cold water
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. brandy

Place sugar, salt, and water in a saucepan and bring to boiling. Add the cornstarch which has been moistened with the cold water, then add the butter and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the stove and add the brandy. Serve hot over the pudding. Any left-over pudding will keep indefinitely if wrapped in a cloth moistened in brandy and placed in a tin box. Heat the slices over steam before serving. My father tells me that his great grandmother made this pudding from an old cook book printed in the latter part of the 1600's. My mother used to tell how her grandmother made these puddings and hung them in their bags from the open rafters of the kitchen ceiling. They are still a favorite in our family and we always have them for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
