Have you ever thought about the flavours of the holidays? For me, it’s not Christmas dinner without mincemeat pie. And it’s not December if there’s not eggnog in my coffee.

Ask your family what Christmas flavours matter to them and do all you can to provide those. And be sure to do the ones you love too! If you make something and only one person eats it, that’s still a blessing to that person.

~ Paul – I’m XY, and then there’s orange cranberry relish.

Hard Sauce Recipe:

A necessary topping for mincemeat!

• One stick of butter, very soft
• Powdered sugar
• 2 TBS orange juice concentrate (thawed is easier)
• 1/4 cup rum

Cream sugar into the butter. Add orange juice and rum and mix thoroughly. Keep adding sugar until your arm falls off. Stores in the refrigerator longer than it will last. Top warm pie, let it melt a bit, and enjoy!
