This recipe was in a Newfoundland magazine called Downhomer , I have not made it but I do like traditional recipes. Sounds delicious. In the instructions it says pour into a pudding bag and cook with Jigg's dinner for one hour It also gives an alternate method which I have put into the recipe since I don't know Jigg's or what he is having for dinner :-)
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon hot water
1/2 cup flour
Directions:
1. Soak the bread crumbs in water for a few minutes. Squeeze out the water.
2. Combine the crumbs, raisins, sugar & spices, mix with a fork.
3. Pour hot water over the soda.
4. To the crumb mixture add molasses, melted butter & soda.
5. Add flour & mix well.
6. Pour into a cleaned, greased tomato can, cover with foil and secure with an elastic band, place can into a large pot of boiling water that comes 3/4 way up the can. Steam for 1 1/2 hours until the pudding looks firm.
