Wartime Beachburg Pudding

Happy Sunday Lovelies

Finally recovering from the long bout of bronchitis.. we actually made it to church this morning.. and I didnt disturb the congregation too much with my occasional coughing 

and I had enough energy to walk home with hubby in the Autumn sunshine.

It was a rather pretty day.. with many flowers still in bloom.. 

including the occasional rose.

We spent the afternoon relaxing..in anticipation of a busy week ahead...

"I Hear a Rhapsody" by Dinah Shore with Orchestra

and listening to some of our favourite music artists.. like Miss Dinah Shore

Dinner was simple Stuffed Peppers followed by a delicious dessert..

Beachburg Pudding

This delicious Self Saucing Dessert comes from Prince Edward Island Home Recipes, a WWII-era Canadian wartime cookbook compiled by the Islands Women's Institute,  filled with both practical and surprisingly aspirational baking recipes. 

This recipe uses pantry staples like flour, brown sugar, corn syrup, raisins, and milk, topped with a rich, bubbling brown sugar sauce that forms during baking. No eggs, no spices, and yet... it tastes just like a warm, cozy spice cake. A lovely pudding that I will make again
