Name: Indian Fruit Pudding
Ingredients: 1 lb Chokecherries or blueberries; 4 c Water; 1/2 c Flour; 1 c Sugar or honey; or to taste

These orders [love for God and love for money] are diametrically opposed. The one commands you to walk by faith; the other to walk by sight. The one to be humble; the other to be proud. The one to set your affections on things above; the other to set them on the things that are on the earth. The one to look at the things unseen and eternal; the other to look at the things seen and temporal. The one to have your conversation in heaven; the other to cleave to the dust. The one to be careful for nothing; the other to be full of anxiety. The one to be content with such things as you have; the other to enlarge your desires. The one to be ready to distribute; the other to withhold. The one to look at the things of others; the other to look at one’s own things. The one to seek happiness in the Creator; the other to seek happiness in the creature. Is it not plain? There is no serving two such masters.

INSTRUCTIONS

This dish was originally made with chokecherries. These tiny cherries are
bitter enough to surprise you, and the pit is the biggest part of the
fruit. The whole cherry, pit and all, was pounded up and used to preserve
meat, and they are certainly sour enough to do just that. When they were
made into a pudding it must have taken the family's entire stock of honey
to provide enough sweetening. Wild blueberries, which could not be
preserved so easily, were also used for this dish.
Boil the berries in the water. Drain the juice and set aside. Mash the
berries and mix with the flour. Combine the sugar or honey with the juice
and add to the berry/flour mix. Stir well. If lumps are present add a
little more water and continue to stir. Bring to a simmer and stir
constantly until thick. Check for sweetness. Cool and serve.
