Rum balls sound pretty good, too. How early do you make those?Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-52713797603396341722015-11-17T11:57:24.078-05:002015-11-17T11:57:24.078-05:00My husband loves how the pudding tastes.

And although it seems like it's too early for Christmas, this is the best time to make fruitcake because you need the flavours to meld together and only time can do that properly. <br /><br />Let's see... other Christmas baking that needs time to meld are rum balls. Now where are my Christmas records... :DAnita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759232889762510956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-69144134108135040902015-11-16T15:13:15.895-05:002015-11-16T15:13:15.895-05:00I'm glad, Suzie!

And historically, desserts were different too. Dried fruit was a much bigger deal--how else in winter could you eat sweet fruit?<br /><br />The project idea is really neat. I can imagine how excited little kids must have been during church on Stir Up Sunday, anxious to go home and stir the pudding and make wishes!Susanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-28191234858079609902015-11-16T15:07:34.734-05:002015-11-16T15:07:34.734-05:00Fun post, Susie.

Very cool that they made an event out of the project. Maybe similar to the way we do family gingerbread houses today.Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.com
