crusts in enough water to soften; drain and
squeeze gently to remove excess water. Break
bread into crumbs and measure 2 cups. Grease
a 4-cup mold. Mix crumbs, raisins, molasses,
and melted butter together. Combine baking
soda and water and add to crumb mixture; mix
well. Sift together flour, ginger, allspice, cinna
mon, and salt; stir into crumb mixture. Pour
mixture into greased pudding mold to keep out
steam. Remember to leave some slack in foil
because pudding will need room to expand.
Place mold on rack in a steamer or large pot.
Add boiling water to halfway up the sides of
pudding mold. Cover and steam 2 hours or until
firm to touch. Serve topped with molasses

A Lancaster County reader sent in this recipe
for bag pudding.
1 egg, beaten
2 cups flour
Va teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
% cup brown sugar
Mix. Add enough milk to make a dough (not
thin). Add Va cup raisins that were cooked. This
will make dough thinner. Mix well and put into a
cloth bag tied shut at the top.
Put with dough into a kettle of boiling water
and boil two hours. Don’t use too small of a bag
as dough rises. When done, open the bag and
slide on a platter, cut and serve warm with
milk. Leftovers are good cut into small pieces
and topped with real cream, whipped. My moth
er used to make this and I thought of it again so
made it on Saturday evening after seeing some
one wants the recipe.

Eating Fruit Increases
Weight Loss In Women
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Agriculture Secretary Dennis C
Wolff announced the results of a
Brazilian study that reported add
ing apples or pears to the diet may
help women lose weight faster.
“As anyone who has struggled to
lose weight knows, finding ways to
shed pounds is often frustrating,”
Secretary Wolff said. “This study
provides a tasty, yet healthy way to
lose weight.”

ro found that overweight women
who ate three small pears or apples
per day lost more weight on a low
calorie diet than those who did not
eat fruit. Researchers also found
that those eating fruit consumed
fewer calories and thus helped their
weight loss efforts.
For 12 weeks, overweight women
with high cholesterol ate a stan
dardized, low-calorie diet. Partici
pants either ate 300 grams of apple,
300 grams of pear, or 60 grams of
oat cookie three times per day.

Those that ate fruit lost
more weight, consumed
fewer calories, and had
lower blood glucose lev
els than those con
suming oat cookies.
The study also sug
gested that as “low ener
gy-density” foods, fruits
have a lower calorie
count compared to other
non-fruit foods. In addi
tion, by eating foods
high in fiber, people feel
more satisfied and less
likely to indulge in more
snacks after a high-fiber
meal. Apples and pears
are excellent sources of
dietary fiber, containing
five grams and four
grams of fiber respec
tively per each medium
sized fruit.
This study is good
news for the thousands
of women across the
Commonwealth strug
gling to lose weight.
“We have always
known that Pennsylva
nia’s produce is ‘Simply
Delicious,’ but now we
know that our apples
can help contribute to
weight loss as well,” said
Secretary Wolff.
