Pudding was made and prepared by Shirley-Ann Pearman

Recipe was taken from McCall CookBook, the chapter on “Desserts and Dessert Sauces”, page 299 an edition of between 1950 – 1960s. However, the pudding was steamed in a pudding mold instead of in a bowl as the recipe notes, but method number 5 remains the same with waxed paper and the pudding mold top instead of the foil. In the photos you note a sauce along with the “Pudding”, the sauce is “Vanilla Hard Sauce”.
Both Pudding and Sauce are quite delicious.
