Cody Donoher: We make our family’s tradition of Baklava!!!

Lisa Dukicin: For me it would be Plum Pudding. As with mincemeat, plum pudding actually gets better with age. It has always puzzled me as to why in A Christmas Carol Mrs. Cratchit was making the pudding for Christmas day on Christmas day. Traditionally plum pudding is made and then allowed to age for at least a year before eating, at least that’s how my great grandmother who came over here from England did it and passed down to her daughter (my grandmother) and then she passed it down to me. It needs time to allow all the flavors to blend and bloom. I always have two puddings in the refrigerator — one that we serve every year and one that is aging until the first one is gone. It takes about five years for us to go through one pudding. It is so rich, that eating one slice is usually all anyone can handle. I steam the pudding for 8 hours on Christmas eve, place it on a serving dish, pour brandy over it, and then we light it and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. When the flame goes out, I serve it with lemon sauce. Definitely my favorite every year.
