EDIBLE TRADITIONS
Holiday Keepers
Last Updated November 01, 2014
A wave of nostalgia washes over me at the heart-warming smell of cinnamon and ginger wafting from the oven or at the sight of my mother and brother making their time-honoured Christmas fudge. For us, the holidays would not be complete without our favourite edible traditions: Marjorie’s punch of homemade grape juice and spicy ginger ale, a rich Christmas Eve fondue and Velma’s classic fruitcake.
