Quick Blueberry Pudding

This recipe is designed for those extra-busy days or for cooking while camping. At home you can use honey for sweetening, but if you're backpacking, you might find it more convenient to eliminate the honey and simply add sugar to the dry pancake mix.

1 cup fresh (or frozen) blueberries
1 cup pancake mix (a wheat and soy combination complete with leavening and salt works nicely)
1/3 cup raw sugar or honey
2 tbsp melted shortening
1 to 1 1/4 cups milk (less needed when using honey)

If using sugar add to pancake mix. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of pancake mix over the blueberries. Set aside. Mix together shortening and milk (also honey if used in place of sugar). Then add this moist mixture to pancake mix, stirring lightly. Add the blueberries and steam in a 5-cup mold for 2 hours or in a 1-quart mold for 1 1/2 hours. (Use any leftover dough for blueberry pancakes.) Serves 8.

Cranberry Pudding

This is good with a tart lemon sauce or homemade vanilla ice cream. In blueberry season substitute blueberries for cranberries.

1 1/2 cups cranberries, sliced
3 tbsp raw or date sugar
1 1/ 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 /2 tsp salt
1 tbsp skim milk powder
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 eggs
1/2 cup honey or sorghum
1/3 cup milk

Toss cranberries in sugar and let stand. Mix together remaining dry ingredients. Beat eggs and then beat in honey and milk. Combine liquid mixture with flour mixture, stirring well. Fold in cranberries and steam in a 5-cup mold for 1 1/2 hours. Serves 8.

Traditionally, the sauce for steamed puddings, especially plum pudding, is Hard Sauce, but most recipes are heavy on powdered (confectioners') sugar and are overly sweet. Try one of the four following sauces instead.
