Chef Noel Cunningham’s Sweet Potato Pudding
Growing up I would always see my mom making sweet potato pudding on a Sunday, this was the best time ever. She would make it outdoors on the coal fire in a dutch pot with a piece of zinc on top with more coal fire. That’s how sweet potato pudding got the name “hell a bottom, hell a top and hallelujah in the middle”. My favourite part of the pudding was the crust when it’s slightly burnt. She would often pair it with homemade ginger beer.
