Dear T,
Here is yet another invention of mine. It happened because I've not gotten over my pumpkin fix for this year. Often I turn to pumpkin pudding to satisfy my craving. I have been toying with how to make pudding healthier -namely replacing the refined sugar and maybe starch- without using those awful no-sugar pudding mixes. Anyways, I've discovered how to swap out the sugar for honey. In the process I inadvertently, er, *intentionally*, created this yummy concoction. It's half way through the process of making pumpkin pudding, but it was so good I wanted to stop there. Think of sugar plum fairies, spice cookies, and Christmas puddings :happy sigh:
Must Make and Much Love,

Honey Spice Pudding
1/2 c honey
2 tbsp starch
1 1/2c milk
2 egg yolks lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1 tbsp butter
Put honey and starch in a pot. Mix until well blended. Add milk and stir constantly over heat until boiling. Boil 1 min until thickened. In a seperate bowl beat yolks and then *slowly* add half of the milk mixture stirring constantly to prevent egg yolk from curdling. Then add the egg yolk mixture back into the pot with the rest of the milk mixture. Bring to a boil again for 1 min, stirring constantly. Take off heat and add vanilla, butter, and spices to taste.
Enjoy!
