Carrot Pudding and Vanilla Sauce

1 cube butter
1 C sugar
1 C grated carrots
1 C raisins
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 C chopped walnuts
1 C grated raw potato
1 rounded tsp. soda mixed in potatoes
1-1/2 C flour
pinch of salt

Steam 3 hours. (I seems like mom used the double boiler for this or put the batter in canning jars and steamed them in a big pot of water.  Maybe it would work in the oven with a pan of water under it for less time????)

Vanilla Sauce
Mix 3/4 C sugar and 2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 C boiling water
Add boiling water to sugar mixture slowly and stir constantly.  Boil 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add 2 Tbsp. butter and 1 tsp. vanilla.  Serve hoot over Carrot Pudding.
