Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Christmas pudding is a dessert traditionally served on Christmas Day (December 25). It has its origins in England and Ireland, and is sometimes known as plum pudding, though this can also refer to other kinds of boiled pudding involving dried fruit. Many households have their own recipe for Christmas pudding, some handed down through families for generations. Essentially the recipe brings together what traditionally were expensive or luxurious ingredients - notably the sweet spices that are so important in developing its distinctive rich aroma. Christmas pudding is a steamed pudding, heavy with dried fruit and nuts, and usually made with suet. It is very dark in appearance - effectively black - as a result of the dark sugars and black treacle in most recipes, and its long cooking time. The mixture can be moistened with the juice of citrus fruits, brandy and other alcohol (some recipes call for dark beers such as mild, stout or porter). In Peru, some families use Pisco.
