Steaming the Custard Pudding
Place the Jars in a pot or pan and pour hot water until it reaches 1/3 of the way up from the bottom
Cover the pot or pan and steam in medium heat. When it reaches the boiling point, turn down the heat a little.
*It should be just a little boiling and steamy but not hot enough that the there are bobbles on the surface
Steam for 10 minutes after it has reached the boiling point. When steaming is complete, remove the Jar and allow to cool naturally.
*Do not open the aluminum foil now, it is still steaming in the residual heat.
When it reaches room temperature, place it in the refrigerator to cool and harden, and enjoy your Custard Pudding!
