While he was away fighting in the war in Vietnam, letters and tape recordings were exchanged, and the background soundtrack to those recordings was the dropping of bombs and the sound of gunfire. Dawn repeatedly prayed for her brother's safety and when he came home safe from the conflict, she wanted to show her gratitude. She started making puddings and selling them to raise money for the church where she found her solace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLike every tale told of ingenuity and tradition, this has its twists and turns. Dawn had never made a traditional Christmas pudding so she called on an age old recipe handed down from her grandmother, with the addition of her love and gratitude for the safe return of her brother. We continue to use the very same recipe, created by Dawn, for our traditional puddings. We have evolved and modernised our business by adding new lines and responding to feedback from our customers, but the recipe at the very core of who we are has stood the test of time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/3493\/9470\/collections\/image_c9ba727d-c2c5-44bf-9c2d-730e564b3cce.jpg?v=1692484250","url":"https:\/\/themakersmarketplace.myshopify.com\/collections\/the-pudding-lady-newcastle-australia.oembed","provider":"Australian Makers Marketplace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
