We were far too full to even think of eating any Christmas pudding on the day but after our lovely roast beef dinner on New Years Day we lit the pudding!
I am not a Christmas fayre eater at all but this one was nice, quite sponge like & not as heavy as they sometimes are.
Cathy & Garth’s house after our family walk.
Three good things:
1. Talked to a friend on the phone for a long time this morning.
2. We enjoy sitting at our kitchen work bench in our high bar stools watching all the dogs go past on their walks.
3. Lots of Christmas trees come down today Harry noticed on his walk but I love ours up so it’s there still lit until the 6th January. Of course we aren’t going to work tomorrow so have plenty if time to do things like that.
That pudding looks great. I don’t make a Christmas cake, but usually make about 4 puddings. I could not get brown sugar, so had to substitute with raw sugar. They were a real flop! I was also using almond flour and coconut flour so they were suitable for coeliacs. In the end I added more flour and reboiled them - they were heavy and stodgy but tasted lovely.... I wasn’t going to throw them out with all that fruit and ginger!
It looks great especially with the blue flame rising -- Like you we did not have room for a heavy Pudding on Christmas day , but enjoyed it after our roast dinner on New Year's day .
Oh Pat - I'm so pleased to hear you saying you keep your tree up - I've been getting comedically cross with all the people taking theirs down ahead of 12th night :-)
@boxplayer Can’t take the Christmas stuff down until the Kings have arrived Ayla! 🤣. Ours don’t go up that early so I like to keep them as long as possible.
@ladymagpie It’s the worst pudding you could think of having after a full roast turkey dinner….we had trifle & fruit salad….I am not a fruit salad person sadly though as I do like a bit of custard & cream.
I used rum on our Christmas pudding but didn't heat it up first. Kept pouring it on to try and get some flame - - until the pudding was swimming in rum and we gave up. You pudding looks a beautiful shape!
@carole_sandford Well I don’t make any Christmas stuff….I buy mince pies etc as there is only Harry likes it….I used to make mince ones etc but H is quite happy with Booths ones.
@busylady I think the puddings keep for a good while Judith but you might not fancy it in the summer although yours is a lighter one…might be a real treat when you’re starving hungry!
@happypat I don’t make anything either. I don’t really have the time & I tend to think why? When they are beautifully made & boxed by so many companies 🤣
This looks fine!! I'm not really a hot pudding person on Christmas Day....too full long before this point.
It's good if there are several other family members to share it!
Sorry I'm just catching up!!
