Thank you for this timely post; I will definitely try this. The women of the day must have been amazing as I cannot imagine boiling something for 5 to 6 hours on a wood burning stove.Arden Karrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752801142122385154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-11650806320228549872010-11-26T09:11:07.725-05:002010-11-26T09:11:07.725-05:00The Dreamstress, thanks.

The currants in the recipe above are what they considered 'plums' - raisins work too.

I'm surprised it has become so out of style. I don't normally cook with alcohol but some of my friends might be willing to try making it. I would very much like to see it on fire-- I'd really have to try to get a photo of that. :DStephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-24495211329690177452010-11-20T16:19:12.926-05:002010-11-20T16:19:12.926-05:00I've never had plum pudding either though I...I've never had plum pudding either though I've heard of it in a lot of historical and historical fiction books I've read.
