Great chapter, I am lucky that I don’t have a sweet tooth. I enjoyed helping my grandmother while she was cooking, her specialty was apple pie, a big fruit filled pudding and cake for Xmas day after the leg of ham which she boiled in her wood fired copper, then covered it in breadcrumbs and put cloves in it, served with homemade apple sauce or gravy if you wanted it. The cake and the pudding where always made in October, the pudding was cooked in Calico cloth, tied with string and hung until reheated on Xmas day and served with custard, the pudding had coins in it for us grandkids. The cake was wrapped up in alfoil, dosed regularly with rum then wrapped in newspaper.
