There have been some requests from more recipes from the Covered Wagon Cookbook, which was published by the Washington Parish (Louisiana) Fair Historical Society in 1959 and
featured on Papergreat last Thursday.
So here you go. These are presented verbatim. Enjoy!

"SERVE WHEN THE PREACHER COMES"
"Likker Pudding"
By Mrs. Vertrees Young
- 2½ cups milk
- 3 medium sized yams
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- ¼ stick butter
- ½ cup blanched slivered almonds
- ½ cup whiskey or rum
Put milk into 2 quart casserole. Grate yams, adding milk as you grate to prevent potatoes from turning dark. Beat eggs well and add sugar gradually. Add cinnamon and almonds and mix well with potatoes. Dot generously with butter and bake in a 300ยบ oven until firm. Just before serving pour a jigger of whiskey or rum over the pudding. Delicious with turkey. May be used without likker. (Serves 6).
