Here is Mrs. Monnet’s recipe if you want to make it for your next party or for Santa (which I highly recommend)
Homecoming Jello Plum Pudding
- 1 package lemon jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 3/4 cup Grape Nuts cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts)
- 1/4 cup citron (or candied lemon peel)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup prunes
- water
- juice from half a lemon
- In a sauce pan, cover prunes with water, add juice from half a lemon and simmer until prunes are plump and tender. About 10 minutes.
- Dissolve jello in boiling water. Add remaining ingredients. Drain water from prunes and add to mixture.
- Pour into a jello mold. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
