I'm going to make plum pudding. Dammit.


When asked what dessert I can bring to Christmas dinner my sister-in-law said something like "You know what I've been craving? Plum pudding." I've never made it, never had a clue what it was like. Many, many internet searches later, I had learned a lot about meat and suet and currants and pudding cooked, steamed actually, in a bag for up to 8 hours. I have really overthought this entire business now. But dammit I'm making this pudding.

Meat & suet & currants? Oh my, you're one brave woman. Pictures, please, when done!

Oh yes, what a project. I totally hear you on the overthinking. But you do have a sense of accomplishment when you're done.
