This is her recipe, made in the mixing bowl she gave me one Christmas, many years ago.
She always made it in a cloth, usually it steamed away Christmas morning so it was ready after lunch. I'm not that confident!

I am getting better at it with practice, but I always make it ahead of time in case something goes wrong. One year I left out all the ingredients which give it the dark, fruity colour and it looked so anaemic, I had to make another one.
Anyway, as they say, 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating', but we have to wait a week for that!
Nothing nicer than homemade pudding! Yum!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Carolyn, Christmas pudding is something that I have only read about in English novels. I do hope you post a photo of it when it is done. I looks like a long process and has my imagination whirling. Somewhere between my English roots and my American life style, this tradition was lost. I'm thinking it might be something that I would like to bring back :) I have English and Dutch roots and my husband has German and Jewish roots (I guess that's why they call America the melting pot, LOL). I have been giving a lot of thought to bringing back some of your heritage through cooking. I've only tried a few recipes, but I am having fun with this idea and it is giving us some varitiy in your meals.
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you a wonderful Christmas.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
