I came to Canada then realised that I do not like it, or mince pies, or traditional Christmas pudding. I make a version of Christmas pud but it is much lighter in taste and colour.<br />Jane x<br />PS (whispers) I do not drink tea either.Jane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-46849246033826669732010-12-21T12:07:00.372+01:002010-12-21T12:07:00.372+01:00I am ashamed to say I haven't got round to mak...I am ashamed to say I haven't got round to making my mince pies but that will be for tomorrow. Meanwhile I have a wonderful pastry recipe I managed to prise from a friend many years ago and it just melts in your mouth. I only ever use it for mince pies and they really melt in your mouth. Mmmh maybe I will share it one day . . . .Sarah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016935730262128630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-26016451111148964912010-12-21T11:13:32.067+01:002010-12-21T11:13:32.067+01:00Yes Sarah!
