Indian Style Cranberry Pudding

Indian Cookin,’ p. 36

½ cup uncooked cream of wheat

6 tbsp. sugar

3 cups cranberry juice

If you actually want this to be decently authentic use unsweetened cranberry juice.

In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the cranberry juice to a boil over moderate heat. Add the sugar, stirring constantly. Add the cream of wheat a little at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture has thickened to a puree. 

Yes. Yes, you've just made cranberry cream of wheat.

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Using a rotary beat, beat the mixture until it has tripled in volume and is very light and fluffy. Pour into individual serving bowls and serve as soon as possible.

This is really neato texture-wise!

My Rating: 4/5 "I've never had anything quite like this before. It's nice and substantial, and obviously if you like cranberry it's right up your alley. This is one of those be-cosmopolitan-and-try-new-things opportunities. Since it's nice and autumnal right now is a great opportunity to do that."
