PLUM PUDDINGS!

We would like to make this year’s plum pudding fundraiser

a church project with as many parishioners as possible

helping to make it a HUGE success. 

First of all, we need help with 2 things

We need 200 small tin cans in which to bake the plum puddings. 

We have 35 at the moment.  Please save any 14 ounce tins

(398 ml – used for fruit, veg, beans, etc) and bring them cleaned,

with labels removed, to the church or parish office for collection.

Next, we’d like to borrow steamers/canners – large pots

with racks for lowering the tins into the water.

  They will be needed for a brief period in mid November. 

Watch out for more details about our Plum Pudding Factory!
