How To Make heavenly sticky cherry pudding

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease an 8 or 9 inch round casserole dish. It must be tall as this rises during cooking. A pie plate is too shallow.
  • Step 2
    Mix first 7 ingredients by hand just until mixture is moist. The juice will come out of the cherries and moisten it.
  • Step 3
    Place in the baking dish and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. It should be golden brown and the top will be cracked. The texture is like a really stiff pudding, it is not a cake, so don't over bake it.
  • Step 4
    While it's baking, mix the dry ingredients for the sauce. Add to the juice and place in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened. Remove and pour into a small pitcher or bowl to cool.
  • Step 5
    Next whip the whipping cream with 1 T sugar until stiff peaks form. Chill in fridge.
  • Step 6
    When the pudding is done, let it cool to room temperature. It can be served slightly warm, but I don't suggest hot.
  • Step 7
    To serve, top each portion with sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
