I recently purchased a wonderful cranberry pudding at a craft show. The ingredients include whole cranberries and molasses, uses little or no fat and little sugar.. I would love to be able to figure it out so that I could make one from scratch. Any ideas?Any gourmet cooks out there who might be able to figure a recipe for cranberry pudding?
