    I bought one at The World Market store but it wasn't the best --I've made better. then served it with a custard sauce. Have a friend that lives in England in our local quilt group (winters in Fl ) . She says they pour brandy over the top and fire flame it then serve with Custard sauce. I use to serve with lemon or rum sauce.
    No brandy here so couldn't light it.
    My grandmother always made a plum pudding --Christmas pudding as my dads Christmas gift then we all ate it.

    Our problem is we like it all and I enjoy food from other countries.

    Turns out the cake part was coffee cake with cranberries in it, but here is the Brandy Sauce:
    1/2 c butter
    1 c sugar
    2 Tbsp water
    1 egg, beaten
    2 Tbsp lemon juice
    1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
    1/4 c apricot brandy
    Dash of salt

    Cream butter and sugar thoroughly until light and fluffy in the top of the double boiler. Add water and egg and beat well. Place over boiling water for about 15 minutes or until sugar is thoroughly melted and sauce is slightly thickened, stirring often to keep smooth. Add lemon juice and rind, brandy and salt. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring to blend. Serve warm.

    This comes from Meta Given's "Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking" from 1955 - the eighteenth printing. It was originally copyrighted in 1947. The old stuff is still good!

    My old Irish Grandmother always made carrot pudding for Christmas. I loved it! There's no one to enjoy it with me now. It had carrots, potatoes (of course!) raisins spices. I think I will have to find the recipe and just make some! We steamed it in a coffee can. Oh gosh where would I find a coffee can now that it's all in little packets and plastic jugs?

    ohhh that brings back memories. My great grandmother was from Ireland and would make christmas pudding and it would steam as we had our dinner. And the best christmas cake....then I move to the states and everyone looks at me as tho I am crazy when I buy a small Christmas cake for myself...we also used to make carrot pudding which was good as a "cheaper" version of plum pudding
