Her maternal grandparents were British and it is a spiced cake served with this really yummy syrup. (My husband was a little aprehensive at first, but you have to eat it with the syrup!) Anyway, she said her mother would make the cake on Christmas morning. It had to rise a few times and then she would wrap it in a cloth and boil it for several hours. The cake comes out in a perfect ball. How dear!!!! As my grandmother is now 85, I am making Christmas pudding with her this year, as she makes it and freezes it many months ahead of time!Marcie in Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-12255296206546284722012-01-07T19:14:34.197-06:002012-01-07T19:14:34.197-06:00It looks wonderful!

I have my copy of Dorothy Hartley's "Food in England" open beside me as I type; it's a wonderful book & gives a great understanding of why we cook foods in certain ways & the fascinating history of our cookery over at least a thousand years. I often use its recipes. It's a classic. And your Epiphany Tart looks perfect!<br />[Valerie, NZ]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-45486618559750316902012-01-07T07:59:23.759-06:002012-01-07T07:59:23.759-06:00That is really cool!

(Or did, perhaps, you serve it <i>warm?</i> ;)<br /><br />One of the traditions I want to incorporate more fully is a celebration of the 12 Days of Christmas. We talked a lot about them this year, and sometimes I would hand over a little treat while singing, "On the 'nth' day of Christmas..." and we talked about the Christian meaning behind the 12 Days as found at <a href="http://www.crivoice.org/pdf/cy12days-print.pdf" rel="nofollow">this website</a>...<br /><br />Okay, wait a minute. I guess we really <i>did</i> celebrate them. <br /><br />(Perfectionism much, Maggie? :)Margaret in Minnesotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603439076606550856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-27110352796977053372012-01-06T17:11:03.560-06:002012-01-06T17:11:03.560-06:00Wow, how neat!
