I was also interested to read your article on the traditional Christmas pudding.
I make a quantity of them every year usually in January. My Nan had the task/pleasure and handed it down to my Mum and now I have been given the job. Family and friends expect their pudding every year, the only problem I have is getting them to return the bowls!
I tend to make 1lb puddings now instead of the large 3lb ones as it is not everyone’s ‘cup of tea’ and you only need a little after the heavy Christmas lunch.
And pressure cooking them is so much better than steaming as they finish up a delightful dark colour. almost black.

I already make a 1800 stuffed Christmas goose recipe and your wonderful pudding recipe is going to be a plus, thank you so much for posting.

I’ll have to see if I can track down some of that stuff – however isn’t it covered in flour? I remember reading that here and there.

In the UK some people still use the raw style suet you used but I and many others would use:-

this is like a pre-grated dried version that like you say has no use by date, and less gross to use! I assume its not available in the US but wondered if you could get it through Amazon or somewhere similar. Its a great store cupboard item to have and great for all types of ‘stick to ribs’ style English pudding and also used in Dumplings that would be cooked ontop of stews.

Anyway hopefully this is of some interest to you! Sarah from Derbyshire, UK
