Nothing says Christmas like my grandmother's plum pudding with "hard
sauce".As a kid I could'nt understand why pudding required a fork,
and I could'nt figure out what the hell "hard" sauce was.
Of course now that I am all grown up I know hard sauce is made with
hard liqour :alc, and that's why the grown-ups would only let me have a little.
Just as well.The sauce has the look and texture of snot with the taste of cough
medicine. Plum pudding is difficult enough to choke down without the
delightful topping.
Right up there with fruitcake. And mincemeat pie.
Hearty appetites and happy holidays to all!
