Carrot Pudding

This is my great grandmother Bardella's recipe and a favorite at Christmastime:

1 cup Sugar
1 cup grated Carrots
1 cup grated Potatoes
1 tsp Baking soda
1 1/2 cup Raisins

1/2 cup melted Butter
1 1/2 cup Flour
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cloves
2 cups Bread crumbs
1/2 cup Molasses

Dissolve baking soda into potatoes. Mix ingredients together, Adding bread crumbs last. Steam for three hours in a double boiler on stove.

Dip for Pudding:
1 cup Sugar
2 TBSP Flour
2 TBSP Shortening
2-3 cups of Water
1 TSP Flavoring
1 TSP Nutmeg

Mix flour, butter, sugar on top of stove until Brown. Then add water and keep stirring and cooking until sugar is all dissolved.
