"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
My Mother made this every year that I can remember for Christmas. We all loved it and waited anxiously for our Christmas dessert. I don't think my Mother ever made it until she married into the Cohoes family. One of the highlights of the Christmas Season for me was to have Plum Pudding. It has been several years since we had it. This year I bought a pudding mold and intend to make it again for my family.
