Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Raisins go very well with the ricotta and sweet spice in this pudding, and since Grandma adored raisins, she often added them. She stirred in up to 1/2 cup raisins when she removed the ricotta mixture from the heat. For a plumper texture, she often soaked the raisins in water for 30 minutes before adding them.
