NOODLE PUDDING aka KUGEL


NOODLE PUDDING
2 cups dry wide egg noodles
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup sugar
8 ounce crushed pineapple, drained well
1/4 cup golden raisins

1/4 cup golden rum
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup milk

1 GALA apple, peeled, cored and grated
  • Cook and drain the noodles
  • Combine all other ingredients together
  • Fold into warm noodles
  • Generously spray an 8x8 baking dish with PURE
  • Gently spread entire mixture into dish evenly
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes
I remember the first time I had this - my little Jewish neighbor brought it over as a welcome to the neighborhood back in 1986. She called it noodle pudding. It was so delicious. I wanted to ask her for the recipe, but I'd just met her and I was young and shy. I made her my floating fruit cake in the same pan she'd brought over and returned it to her to ask for the recipe. I remember how hard she laughed at me. She said it was a Jewish custom to always return a plate, bowl or dish full and of course I could have the recipe.   I've adapted it to suit my families tastes over the years and cut back on the amount of sugar but it is still a favorite!  My neighbor and I  became fast friends and shared LOTS of recipes before I moved from the neighborhood in 1999.

She used rum or did you add it? A nice addition.

Try it without the pineapple and with peaches, someday. That is good too.

I've never tried kugel. It would be a great way to use leftover egg noodles too :-)
