Directions
-
This dish was originally made with chokecherries.
-
These tiny cherries are bitter enough to surprise you, and the pit is the biggest part of the fruit.
-
The whole cherry, pit and all, was pounded up and used to preserve meat, and they are certainly sour enough to do just that.
-
When they were made into a pudding it must have taken the family's entire stock of honey to provide enough sweetening.
-
Wild blueberries, which could not be preserved so easily, were also used for this dish.
-
Boil the berries in the water.
-
Drain the juice and set aside.
-
Mash the berries and mix with the flour.
-
Combine the sugar or honey with the juice and add to the berry/flour mix.
-
Stir well.
-
If lumps are present add a little more water and continue to stir.
-
Bring to a simmer and stir constantly until thick.
-
Check for sweetness.
-
Cool and serve
