That Wartime Christmas Pudding

  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.

  3. I am sure the wartime cooks probably put extra effort into making things tasty to aid morale.

  4. Glad 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

    1. I didn't do Christmas cake - only me eating it, but this small pudding was very good

  6. Sounds 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!
