Old Christmas Recipes
That blueberry pudding sounds scrumptious, Rag Top Daze. Blueberries are my favorite berries and am planning to make a plain ole' blueberry pie for Christmas (served a la mode, of course). Please let us know how your steamed pudding turns out. Would love to see the recipe.
My mother made a steamed walnut pudding every Christmas and used a coffee can - never had a real mold. It was sliced and served with a buttery sauce. So many yummy recipes were only made during the holidays and became traditions. Those old recipes were usually made with either bacon fat, chicken fat or lard and no exact ingredient amounts were given. It was the "by guess and by gorry" method.
Good luck, R.T.D. We will be awaiting the results of your success (or failure) once the deed is done.
