Cottage Cheese Pudding with Raisins

The most tender cottage cheese pudding, in the best English tradition! This is a very unusual recipe from Irish cooking — a cottage cheese pudding, but made in a not-quite-traditional way. Fair warning: getting it just right takes a bit of effort. For this dish, be sure to get a reusable linen or cotton cloth — you can use it again and again, washing it between batches.

    Step 20:

  • First, set the cottage cheese under a weight and press it for about five minutes. Then push it through a sieve, stir in the sugar, beat in all five eggs one at a time, and mix thoroughly. Next, work in the softened butter and add the flour, then stir in the dried raisins. Now — here's the key part! — take a cotton cloth, butter it well (about half a tablespoon), and spoon the cheese mixture onto it. Gather the corners of the cloth into a pouch, tie it shut with string, and boil this bundle in water for two hours. Turn the cooked mixture out onto a plate and shape it into a nice dome, then top it with melted butter or any berry syrup. This is meant to be eaten hot.
