Grandma Nestleroad's Date Nut Pudding

"This is a traditional style pudding. It was passed down through the family on my father's side. It is a Christmas tradition we love! It is best to bake this at least a day before serving. The taste and texture becomes even richer the longer you wait. It actually requires no refrigeration, just keep the lid on it. Be prepared to have your blood sugar soar!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in beautiful New Hampshire where we get to enjoy all four seasons. I don't have any children yet, but I have 2 kitties; Otto, and Lazareth. I recently got married to my DH Gerald (November '09). I like to create jewelry and am now partnering with my MIL on a side business doing so (Art Marketing). I am also working on writing a book in my spare (ha!) time. I would like to be able to visit Hawaii, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and New Zealand some day. Cooking is one of my biggest passions. I would say I started cooking at about 7 years old in self-defense. My mom couldn't boil water without an instruction manual. (The poor woman could burn cold cereal!) Up until 2002'ish I had been mostly an improvisational cook. In the last few years I started thinking of actually using "real recipes" (for things other than baking) to learn more about ethnic cuisines and get familiar with their common ingredients and techniques. At the moment, I am into Asian foods like Thai, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese. So, here you find me!
