I LOVE FUDGE & DIVINITY. Yummy! I have an old family recipe that is from
the See's Fudge (See's Candy Store sells these in their candy stores on the
west coast). I have yet to master the divinity process. I made it three or
four times and only once had it just right.
I miss making these things. Not going to do any cookies or candies this
year. Don't have time.
Merry Christmas everyone! I love everyone's fondest memories.

My fondest Christmas memories center around times spent in the
kitchen
with my mother and grandmother. My mother was a great candy-maker with fudge
and divinity being her specialities. I remember telling my cousin's young
son
(now a grown man) that the reason it was called divinity was because it
was the
food of angels. Popcorn ball making was a big, pre-Christmas family event
with everyone helping. Extra hands were were always welcomed & what fun to
see the un-initiated make popcorn balls!
And popcorn balls given to the mail carrier
& the paper carrier. Christmas baking started with fruitcakes, which were
made right after Thanksgiving. My grandmother's speciality was mincemeat
pie -
and not any mincemeat would do. It had to be homemade, made from a venison
neck. We sure don't cook like that any longer!
