Barbara Keller is an RN with Celiac disease and the author of the cookbook Quick and Easy Gluten Free recipes for Children.
Choose vodka distilled only from potatoes, no added grain alcohol- again I use the one from Trader Joe's that says distilled from potatoes, and I've double checked with customer service. It is gluten free. And it doesn't make me sick.
I microwaved the raisins and vodka in a ceramic dish for 30 seconds to warm and soften the raisins. Don't let it boil or the alcohol disappears.
Often extracts are in grain alcohol which may contain gluten and bother some people who are particularly sensitive to traces of gluten.
Be careful the potato starch not contaminated. In other words, if it's packaged on the same line as gluten containing products it may be enough to make you sick. It does me.

Cooking MethodCasserole
Ingredients
- 2 cup coconut milk. The kind from Trader Joes with less fat and no added sugar or preservatives is best
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup, or to taste
- 1/2 cup golden raisins soaked in 1.5 ounces real potato vodka
- 1 teaspoon vanilla, either a gluten free powder or a no alcohol liquid
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 large egg, or 2 small eggs
- 2 heaping teaspoons potato starch
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free margarine
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients, except the raisins, vodka and margarine, together in a large bowl. Use a whisk to beat well or use a blender to mix it frothy.
- Bring it slowly to a boil in a sturdy saucepan that doesn't burn easily. Stir it just about constantly so the bottom won't burn. In a few minutes, longer than you think possible, it will start to thicken. It is thickens too much, if it's so thick you can't stir it, add a little more coconut milk or water, a tablespoon at a time.
- When it is bubbling steadily, and seems almost thick enough for a pudding, turn the burner off.
- Add the raisins with the vodka and the margarine, and stir slow and steady.
- Taste it to see if it's sweet enough. Not too sweet is best.
- Serve in 2 big bowls or four small bowls. Eat, enjoy and be careful not to drive too soon. It put me to sleep.
