Not made in wartime! but using the wartime recipe that I wrote about on the 23rd HERE.
I didn't try it myself before Boxing Day and reheated portions in the microwave for me and BiL [after making him read the blog page about it so he knew what he was letting himself in for!] It was absolutely delicious, especially with custard and cream. Light and fruity and plenty sweet enough despite the very little sugar.

Good to know it was tasty!
ReplyDeleteA nice surprise from a few simple ingredients.
DeleteLooks Yummo!
ReplyDeleteIt was very good. Sent the other one home with BiL.
DeleteI am sure the wartime cooks probably put extra effort into making things tasty to aid morale.
ReplyDeleteI liked how easy it was to make just before Christmas
DeleteThat looks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed it. I bought a small Christmas pudding this year but it was far too rich for us even with custard. I’ll go back to clootie dumpling next year! Catriona
ReplyDeleteI tried a bought one a few years ago but it wasn't good
DeleteWe haven't bothered with Xmas puds this year. But the cake has been delicious!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do Christmas cake - only me eating it, but this small pudding was very good
DeleteSounds lovely, the breadcrumbs will have made it lighter I guess. Good idea to use the raisins out of the mixed bag of nuts and raisins. Both Christmas cake and pudding are far too sweet, rich and heavy for me now, but I might have a go at making this pud - I'm sure husband will like it!
ReplyDeleteI was right off Christmas pud, but will do this again, it was light and fruity
DeleteIt sounds worth repeating.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised at just how good it was
DeleteIt looks very good indeed
