Christmas Pudding is a traditional British dessert served during the festive season, particularly on Christmas Day. It is a rich, steamed pudding made from a mixture of dried fruits, nuts, spices, and often includes suet or butter. The pudding is typically flavored with ingredients like brandy or beer, giving it a distinctive taste.
Traditionally, Christmas Pudding is prepared weeks in advance, allowing the flavors to mature. It is usually served warm, often with a sprig of holly on top, and accompanied by brandy sauce or custard. The pudding is sometimes set alight before serving, creating a dramatic presentation.
