Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent. I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
I am totally gripped off! That is one mega of a dessert!
ReplyDeleteIt is still my fave pudding in the world and was truly delicious. I still have a slice in the freezer to have when I need a sugar pick me up.
