I put nuts and cherries in mine too, and when it is taken to the table the tradition is to ladle a soon of warm brandy over and light with a match you then have this wonderful glowing pud to present to the Christmas table.<BR/>Just totally yummy...<BR/>JanRedwoodhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16977185203969290156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739387723494625430.post-82192672481518811332008-11-04T11:43:00.000+11:002008-11-04T11:43:00.000+11:00This one called for eggs, butter, sugar, lots of d...This one called for eggs, butter, sugar, lots of dried fruit and spice and some brandy. Add flour and breadcrumbs. Combine and then tie in a calico bag and boil. I can only guess that it comes from the United Kingdom, where a warming, filling pudding would have been good for large families. Also silver pennies and trinkets were hidden in the pudding for people to find.... I love the pudding part of the meal. It is up there with mince pies: sweet pies filled with fruit and spice, pastry with sugar on top. <BR/><BR/>The pudding ends up being a much heavier cake I guess.Hill upon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295311920146857840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739387723494625430.post-45120717271032076622008-11-04T11:08:00.000+11:002008-11-04T11:08:00.000+11:00I have heard of Christmas pudding and I cn most de...I have heard of Christmas pudding and I cn most definitely make assumptions about it....but what is it exactly?Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710910366858293660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739387723494625430.post-21367004559398259712008-11-03T21:46:00.000+11:002008-11-03T21:46:00.000+11:00It now waits till Christmas when I need to boil it...It now waits till Christmas when I need to boil it again for 2 and a half hours....Hill upon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295311920146857840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739387723494625430.post-15821636373784448152008-11-03T16:02:00.000+11:002008-11-03T16:02:00.000+11:00oh yum!
