Notes: This is as close as I can get to the traditional family recipe. We would have it especially during lent at home and when visiting relatives.
I have made it for all occasions. Some of you might remember my bringing a double portion to our brunch gathering at the ranch before driving to Santa Fe during our 2017 family reunion.
Tip: I add a tablespoon or two of molasses to sugar if I don’t have brown sugar.
• I usually soak raisins overnight in brandy before cooking them into anything.
Also it is more fun to share the assembly with someone you love. Carlos and I are often a team. Yes, even in the kitchen!
