Cooking Notes

This was pretty tasty despite it being "ugly". I will make it again, but with some adjustments. 1)The top of my pudding turned almost black within the first hour - so I covered it with foil. Next time I'll cover it sooner. 2) The body of the pudding was watery and slightly mushy. Next time I'll cook it in a water bath. Otherwise, it was so delicious and caramel-like. The perfect autumn and winter treat!
