Date Pudding

THIS PUDDING has been our family's favorite dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas for 65 years...and it's still on the menu. At Christmas, I top each serving with a touch of green-tinted whipped cream and a red maraschino cherry. Whenever I bring this pudding to a potluck supper, it gets rave reviews, along with requests for the recipe. -Opal Hamer, St. Petersburg, Florida

    without wipping cream is wonderfull, and oil of sunflower instead of margarine, is smoother your digestion, it is exquisite to taste it, including hot or warm
