2025 Jubilee: The Holy YearWith Optional 2-Night Venice and St. Anthony of
Padua Post Tour Extension
The Office of Radio & Television and WJMJ Radio invite you to Save the Date to join Father John Gatzak on a special pilgrimage tour to Italy in celebration of Jubilee 2025: The Holy Year of the Roman Catholic Church. Visit our Pilgrimages page for more information or click the button below for the complete itinerary. The Jubilee is a special year of grace, in which the Catholic Church offers the faithful the possibility of asking for a plenary indulgence, that is, the remission of sins for themselves or for deceased relatives. A Jubilee usually lasts a year and a few days: it begins just before the Christian Christmas and ends the Epiphany of the following year.

Plum Pudding (aka Figgie Pudding) - December 24/25, 2005Get everything together… this is like making a giant mud pie, great fun if you have all ingredients and supplies in place. Ingredients:
Mixer Plum Pudding: Place rack (or vegetable steamer) on the bottom of pot, fill pot 1/3 with water and bring to a boil. Grease (serious greasing here, so the pudding won’t stick) the molds with butter and butter spray Shred suet. In large bowl mix together fruit, nuts, suet and breadcrumbs. Grate rind of lemon into mixture, and squeeze lemon for juice. Sift into mixture: flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add brown sugar and molasses and mix well. Add buttermilk and stir. Add 2 eggs and stir well. Add the brown ale, and stir until all ingredients are mixed together. Put the mixture in molds (or bowls) ¾ inch from top. Press down on the mixture to fill all the nooks and crannies. Cover with a square of buttered wax paper, and square of foil. Cover mold (or tie round the top of bowl) Lower into boiling water… water level should be approx. 2 inches from the top of mold. Cover pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer… and cook for 3 ½ hrs. Check water level regularly. Test with knife through foil. Cool 10 minutes, and invert onto a plate. Hard Sauce: Whip the heavy cream until it holds a shape. Separate the remaining 4 eggs and in a separate bowl beat the yolks until thick. To the egg yolks, gradually add powdered sugar and ½ cup brandy, beating constantly. Fold in the whipped cream. To Serve: Place warm pudding on a festive platter and garnish with Christmas greens. At the table, warm about ¼ cup of brandy in a ladle over a candle, ignite with a match and pour it flaming over the pudding. When flame dies out, slice and serve with the hard sauce. |
