This classic cornmeal Indian pudding recipe is cooked long and slow, making it a good candidate for the slow cooker.

Indian pudding can be traced back to the early settlers in New England. The name comes from "Indian meal," which is what they called cornmeal. It probably descended from the British "Hasty Pudding," which is a wheat porridge cooked on the stovetop.
