30 FORGOTTEN Christmas Sweets Every Australian Grandma Made

Back in Nan's hot Christmas Eve kitchen: paper patty cases, a tin lid, and thirty sweets you may not have thought about in years. From honey joys and chocolate spiders to White Christmas and the pudding that arrived steaming on the hottest day of the year. We count down thirty homemade Christmas sweets, slices, biscuits and desserts that filled the tins and plates of Australian families. Along the way: how Nan made them, why she never wasted a crumb, and what the sugar and butter coupons of the 1940s had to do with it. Which sweet had you forgotten? And is there a recipe in your family that's still in somebody's handwriting? Tell me whose it was in the comments.
