Notes

Another Grandma Bowser recipe via Aunt Dorothy

This is labelled Date & Nut Pudding in Grandma's recipe collection. BUT, it seems very similar (identical?) to a dessert called "Poor Man's Pudding" that Grandma often served around the holidays. I have been looking for the Poor Man's recipe for decades and no one in the family seemed to know where it had disappeared to. I will make this recipe and see if it is as I recall the Poor Man's Pudding.
