Plum Pudding
Plum Pudding is a traditional British dessert, often associated with Christmas celebrations. Despite its name, it does not typically contain plums; instead, it is made with a mixture of dried fruits, spices, and suet, which is animal fat. The pudding is steamed or boiled, resulting in a rich, dense texture.
Historically, Plum Pudding dates back to the Middle Ages and was originally a savory dish. Over time, it evolved into a sweet dessert, commonly served with a sprig of holly on top. It is often enjoyed with a warm sauce, such as brandy butter or custard.
