Huckleberry Rag Pudding

Ms Ruby's Huckleberry Rag Pudding

Ingredients

2 C. all-purpose flour
1 C. sugar
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 C. huckleberries
2 large eggs
1/2 C. evaporated milk
1 Tbs. vanilla

Directions

Mix flour, sugar and baking powder together in a bowl. Mash the huckleberries, and then combine them with the eggs, milk, and vanilla and flour mixture. Place this mixture in a cloth wrapper and tie it securely. I believe Ms. Ruby used a cloth flour sack. Immerse this into a pot of boiling water and cook for 25 minutes. Untie, slice and serve with sweetened whipped cream. No huckleberries? Substitute your favorite fruit.
