- Y'all, you gotta listen to this.
0:04
I love when I get letters from sweet young men
0:11
just knowing that they've been in the kitchen with me,
0:14
and still think about contacting me.
0:19
So this is from Kevin Stevenson.
0:23
And he actually shared a recipe with me a while back.
0:28
But he said, "I have another one, Paula. It's me, Kevin.
0:34
And when I was a boy,
0:38
my grandmother would make this in the summertime
0:41
when the berries were ripe.
0:42
She would tell me to go outside and pick black caps,
0:46
which others called black raspberries.
0:49
I'd go outside and pick some,
0:51
and then she'd send me right back out
0:53
'cause I didn't have enough."
0:55
But finally he would have enough to please her.
0:58
And he said, "I think she was doing that
1:01
just to keep me from under feet."
1:04
You might be right, young man.
1:07
So it is a recipe from my grandmother's family.
1:12
It's called bald fruit pudding.
1:15
It's like a bread pudding with a sweet berry sauce
1:20
She would serve it with a little milk poured over it
1:24
and sprinkled with white sugar.
1:27
You could also make this with blueberries and raspberries.
1:30
Well thank you Kevin,
1:31
because that's what I had my refrigerator today.
1:34
So we're gonna do the blueberry version.
1:39
So he tells me that his grandmother creamed the sugar,
1:51
the butter, and the salt.
1:55
Now how much salt is that? This print is so tiny.
2:00
I'm having a hard time. That's a pinch.
2:04
Let's see, where's a smidgen?
2:14
This is a smidgen. How about that?
2:20
All right, so we're gonna just cream this.
2:25
And he didn't say to use a mixer, but to me,
2:30
to cream something, you would need a mixer.
2:34
So I'm choosing to use it.
2:38
All right, so now I'm going to add the flour,
2:47
I don't know if I can add this all at one time or not,
2:51
Kevin, 'cause I'm just learning.
2:56
All right, now I'm going to add the,
3:01
I am going to add the soda and the last of the flour.
3:17
I love the name of this recipe, Kevin.
3:24
All right, so he said to just mix until it forms a ball.
3:51
I don't think this is going to form a ball.
3:57
I wish you were here with me.
4:00
Because this is not going to form a ball, baby boy.
4:06
So what we going to do?
4:12
So we going to take a spoon
4:18
and we just going to pour it.
4:23
And I hope you left your phone number for me, honey,
4:27
in case I have to call you,
4:33
and tell you I messed something up.
5:01
So we just gonna spread this out evenly
5:06
in the bottom of our greased pan.
5:43
All right, now he says,
5:51
cover the dough with fruit and sugar.
5:56
And then pour the boiling water over it
5:59
and bake it at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes.
6:05
All right, so we're gonna add the berries.
6:21
I love blueberries and they supposed to be so good for you.
6:26
You think that's enough blueberries?
6:30
I bet his grandma would send you back out
6:32
for more blueberries, Joyce. (Joyce laughing)
6:36
But he says a cup. And I promise I measure.
7:23
Not quite a cup, but, almost is.
7:39
Okay, here we go. Here we go, Kokomo.
7:49
I think this looks like wonderful.
8:02
I'm so glad that we sprayed the bottom of this.
8:11
I'm trying not to eat too much.
8:13
'Cause I think I told y'all earlier,
8:16
I've had a lot of company for two weeks,
8:18
and I've gained five and a half pounds.
8:24
All right, so Kevin's grandmother sprinkled it
8:27
with a little sugar and topped it with a little milk.
8:37
And that's good 'cause that'll help cool it down.
8:59
And we were saying during the break a while ago,
9:03
that, oh, Kevin, this is so good.
9:06
Thank you so much, son, for sharing.
9:12
This reminds us of like a Depression recipe.
9:20
You know, that takes very little to make it.
9:30
I may never make a blueberry cobbler ever again.
9:36
Mm. It's wonderful, Kevin, thank you so much.
9:41
Keep 'em coming, baby. Keep 'em coming.
9:46
Love and best dishes to all of y'all.
