December Meme - 15th

Share your favorite holiday recipe!

As I mentioned in an earlier post for this meme, my favourite holiday deserts are Christmas pudding and brandy custard. Whilst I don't have the exact recipes my nana used, these are pretty close, including wrapping the pudding in calico, hiding silver threepenses and sixpenses (pre-decimal coins) in the pudding mixture to be found and making it weeks before Xmas to really develop the tastes and flavours, especially of the alcohol.

OOOOOOOO those both look delicious!!! My family's not very big on traditional Christmas recipes (Asian-American problems haha), so it's really nice to get some recipes that we otherwise wouldn't try — maybe I'll try making some pudding this year, if it's not too late to start doing so (: Thanks!!
