Who needs Sugar Plums

The last few days, while dealing with the frost, cold, and the latest snow fall, my mind has been wondering to the "good, old days". The smell of Christmas baking, and the opportunity to consume the same. Most of all, I have been thinking of Pork Pies.

First of all, let me assure you that no pig is harmed in the preparation of these tasty morsels. In truth, there is no meat whatsoever used in the manufacture of these bit-sized wonders.

You fill a shortbread tart shell with a cooked date mixture, and top it with a dab of maple icing.

You will have to excuse me. Drool on a keyboard is a bad thing!

Later, Mushers!
