Low-Fat Steamed Oatmeal Date Pudding

1 cup finely chopped dates
1 cup regular oats (slow cooking)
1/2 cup molasses (or other liquid sweetener)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

Mix all ingredients together and place into 2-quart mold or baking
dish.  Steam for three hours. Serve with a fruit sauce or topped
with raisins.  Hint: Steam on top of the stove if you have a steamer,
or steam in the oven by pouring batter into a well-sealed container
and placing in a pan of water. Be sure to check periodically and
make sure that there is water in the pan.  Makes 6 servings.
