We are going to make - hopefully before fall. Can hardly wait!<br /><br />Trish Short Lewis - I'm thrilled to hear it! I was afraid it would die off with her generation. Can you send it in an email to me? Bill was very interested in it. If we make it, it'll likely be thanks to him...lol<br /><br />Trish Short Lewis - P.S. I always loved how Mom would prepare it after breaking open a jar (she seemed to love it the older it got, the better!) by steaming it...it would get it so nice and fluffy and moist that way! And of course the from total scratch sauces (lemon and caramel)...nummy! I could never eat a lot of the pudding (even as a kid, way too rich for me) but somehow I could manage a lot of sauce...LOL<br /><br />Trish Short Lewis - One more thing...Even in Mom's day back in 60's and 70's her heydey of making the pudding, she had a hard time tracking down authentic ingredients but usually in the end could find them in Emerson...I know for a fact you still CAN get them, but you might have to mail order some from the internet. I realize you could make substitutions, but personally, I truly think the more you stick to the original ingredients, the better...<br /><br />Betty Jeanne Thorsvig - I have ALL the ingredients except the suet at the moment. We have a WONDERFUL hometown butcher market at the Fareway store (they even wear the little hats, lol) and I can get the suet there. :)<br /><br />Betty Jeanne Thorsvig - @Eva? Did you like it? If you did, you should get it and make it also to carry on the tradition. Britton likes it and will carry it on also.<br /><br />Trish Short Lewis - Good suggestion, Betty. :)Trishymousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448388630980259659noreply@blogger.com
