Christmas Pudding
Christmas pudding is a dessert traditionally served on
Christmas day in
Britain,
Ireland
and some Commonwealth countries.
It is sometimes known as "plum pudding", but this name
can also refer to other kinds of pudding based on dried fruit.
Christmas pudding is made with dried fruit and nuts, together with suet,
and then steamed. It is very dark, almost black, and usually moist with
brandy or other alcoholic beverages.
Christmas puddings were traditionally prepared five weeks before
Christmas, most frequently on the Sunday of the week before the start
of Advent (which is sometimes known as
"Stir-up Sunday".
However, as Christmas puddings keep extremely well for a long period
of time (months, or sometimes even a year or more), many families like to put
aside an extra pudding, to be eaten later in the year (for example at Easter).
Some families even go so far as to make their Christmas pudding the year before!
Of course, not everybody makes their own Christmas pudding themselves nowadays -
you can buy ready-made puddings in all major supermarkets - and all you have to
do with these is simply heat them up.
Traditionally a small silver coin was placed in the pudding (such as a
sixpence) which could be kept by the person whose serving included it,
and which hopefully would bring wealth for the coming year. Other tokens
such as a silver thimble (for thrift), an anchor (for safe harbor) or a
tiny wishbone (for luck) have also sometimes been included in
Christmas puddings.
Christmas pudding is traditionally decorated with holly, and may be doused
in brandy and fired. It may be eaten with
brandy butter, cream, custard or other
similar sauces.

Click Here | - Traditional Plum Pudding by Mother Sperry.
- Made the old fashioned way with raisins, breadcrumbs
- Serve with brandy butter for a holiday treat - yumm!
Product Description:
26 oz - Plum Pudding (medium). Serves 6-8. Winnie Sperry has been producing this classic English steamed pudding from an old family recipe for over 20 years. She markets the pudding only in the Seattle area, but locals have spread the word and now she has fans in all corners of the U.S. Each year her loyal followers have her ""whisk"" them up a pudding for their holiday tables. So far, Mother Sperry has been able to meet the growing demand - but it's getting harder and harder to keep up, as her fame spreads and more people taste this truly delightful creation - in our experience, a pudding without equal. A true cottage industry, Winnie rents a commercial kitchen for this once-a-year production. The pudding is made with dark fruits, including several types of raisins, as well as breadcrumbs, brandy, and beef suet for extra richness. The puddings are then aged to achieve peak flavor. Winnie personally prefers young puddings, but many people, the English in particular, let them age for years while not that old, the flavors in these puddings have had a chance to deepen with age. One bite of a warm pudding reveals moist, dense texture and the perfumed flavor of fruit with a hint of brandy. Winnie includes a recipe for the traditional accompaniment of hard sauce or brandy butter. She suggests that the brandy butter should have plenty of spirit (brandy) to accent the full potential of the pudding. |
