Asyn Poeding (Vinegar Pudding)
Posted in Dessert Recipes Tell-a-FriendAlthough the name Asyn Poeding (Vinegar Pudding) seems to suggest something sour and vinegary, the vinegar is only in the syrup and is actually a nice subtle counterbalance to the sweetness, as well as marrying beautifully with the spices.
