Plum pudding is a mouthwatering treat that, surprisingly enough, contains no plums! In the 17th century when it was first created, plums were referred to as raisins or other dried fruits. Plum pudding, or Christmas pudding as it is also known, is a steamed or boiled pudding usually served during the holiday season.

Plum pudding is composed of nutmeg, raisins, nuts, apples, cinnamon, dates, and many other ingredients. In England, it is tradition to have every person living in a household to simultaneously hold onto the wooden spoon together to help stir the batter for the pudding and to make a wish.

Did you know that during the Puritan reign in England, plum pudding was outlawed because it was considered "sinfully rich?" To celebrate this sinful dessert on National Plum Pudding Day, dig out Grandma's old recipe for plum pudding and make some to share with friends and family!
