Auntie's Orange Pudding....cloudy,windy,showers...60's

 This was my Great Aunt's recipe, she was a wonderful cook, I've mentioned her before remember what she said to me when I told her I was getting Married? You can find that post HERE :)

3/4 cup sugar
 6 Tablespoons cornstarch

3 3/4 cups milk

3 egg yolks, beaten with some of milk

1 teaspoon orange extract OR 2 tsps. vanilla

1 large or 2 medium orange segments,
            membranes & pith removed

In medium dry saucepan combine sugar and cornstarch. Put over medium

heat and gradually stir in milk. Continue stirring until just starts

to thicken. Add little of hot milk slowly to egg yolks, then add yolks

to pan of milk and continue stirring. Bring to boil carefully while

stirring and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in extract and

cool, covered about 10 minutes. Carefully stir in oranges pieces and

refrigerate until serving time.  A variation that she used to make was

called Kiss Pudding. For that you omitted the oranges, and whipped the

egg whites until stiff, then folded 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

and put dollops on top of vanilla pudding. It was delicious, but that

was back in the day when no one told us not to eat RAW eggs!!!!!

Happy SPRING .... Sunny.... 70's

Sunday Quotes..Partly sunny...warm

FRIENDS,
We are so thankful for friends, many of whom we've never met, but who share with us as if we'd seen each others' smiles. We've come to know each other online, and words from this community help us through each day.


For the next few Sundays our quotes will be from Max Coots and
his thoughts on friendship, and his wonderful comparisons to gardens.
(see previous weeks quotes HERE )

For those friends now gone, like gardens past that have been harvested,

but who fed us in their times that we might have life thereafter.

~Max Coots
