Christmas Pudding
Canadian friends brought Christmas Pudding for dessert on Christmas. That was a new treat for us. Have any of you had the pleasure of having this?
|
My mother used to make it along with the Christmas cakes. It was delicious served warm with a custard sauce on top. I have never attempted it myself.
|
I am English and live in Australia.....Yep, we love it usually with Brandy sauce. Also mince pies and Christmas Cake (dark fruit cake often with marzipan and Royal icing).
|
They brought a lemon curd for the top but said they use a brandy sauce too. It was made with carrots raisins potatoes and I don't know what else.
|
We had brandy sauce on a Christmas pudding yesterday at out family Christmas get together. 29 of us! I don't know who made it, but if someone wants, I could find out and get the recipe.

Is that plum pudding? DD and I used to buy a small one at a craft fair. Good stuff
|
One of my step-fathers used to make swet pudding with a Brandy sauce. It was rich full of raisins, nuts and pieces of fruit I think. He said he steamed it.........I just know it was so wonderful.....he had a special mold to prepare it in. calla

I love Christmas Pudding - steamed pudding with hard sauce, or lemon sauce, but I always find it is too much after a big meal.
I am Canadian, but Christmas, steamed, suet or plum pudding is a very English dessert. My Kiwi grandmother made it too. You use a special pudding bowl that has a rim so you can tie oiled paper to the top with string and it does not fall off. I either serve Trifle, another English dessert or Yule Log, a French jelly roll, for dessert on Christmas. |
Oh yeah the recipe would be nice.
