KENTUCKY’S WOODFORD PUDDING
Woodford Pudding is a wonderful dish to serve during the holidays, a derby dinner or anytime you have guests and family. This recipe for Woodford Pudding dates back to 1875. The spongy, spiced pudding is named after Woodford County in Kentucky. John Egerton speaks about Woodford Pudding in his book, “Southern Food”. This pudding is so good and you won’t be able to leave it along. It is just that tasty and the sauce is to die for. I could drink the sauce! If you make this recipe, be sure and let me know how you liked it. I think it will become a favorite. You can make this in a 9 x 13 or in a bundt pan. I have found the temperature to be the same and I cook it the same amount of time checking the center after about 40 minutes. I have made this pudding using raspberry preserves instead of blackberry jam and it came out fine.
Woodford pudding is one of our favorite holiday desserts.
