SWAPS
I have swapped out raspberry jam in place of the blackberry and it was just as good. People often ask if you have to use buttermilk and I believe you do. Buttermilk adds a level of fat to the recipe and without it, it will not be the correct consistency.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This is a super simple recipe to make, which is one of the reasons we love it! Plus the combination of spices makes this pudding wonderful.
Step 1
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and blackberry jam. Mix well. Add flour, cinnamon, and allspice and continue mixing.
Step 2
Pour in buttermilk with soda added to the milk. Mix well and pour into a sprayed 9 x 13 baking dish or a sprayed 10 inch bundt pan. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes.
Step 3 – Making the Sauce
Combine sugar and flour in saucepan. Add boiling water and salt. Mix well with spoon or whisk. Bring to a boil on stove. Cook to desired thickness, about five or six minutes. If too thick add more boiling water. Remove from heat, add butter, milk and vanilla and stir. Serve pudding warm with sauce on top.
⭐TIP
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 for the same amount of time, checking the center after about 40 minutes. This is a pudding, so it doesn’t rise like a cake.

STORING, REHEATING & SERVING SIZE
We store this in a cool place. We like it hot or cold but the sauce on it warmed up is amazing. This makes about 8 servings.
