December 2018 46 HOLIDAYS ARE FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS My Mom grew up on a ranch in Wyoming as a kid, and then moved to Nebraska where she and my Dad were married. Mom was born in 1935 and passed away January of 2016. Mom and Dad retired to Sun City and traveled for about 20 years before her death. She loved the country way of life, Country Western music and traveling. Every weeknight on 96.3 Real Country you can hear “Dottie’s Country Memories” featuring her favorites like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Dolly, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and many others. This monthly remembrance of Mom brings back many memories. We hope you enjoy these recipes from her cookbooks. plum pudding INGREDIENTS 2 c. sugar 1 c. milk 6 eggs 2 lb. raisins 2 lb. currants 1 1/2 lb. suet, cut fine 3/4 loaf bread, dried, 4 t. baking powder ground to crumbs 3 c. flour 2 t. nutmeg 1 t. cloves 2 t. cinnamon Citron, optional 5 T. water DIRECTIONS Combine ingredients.
