Mothers Day treats

For Mothers Day lunch, I made a plum and cinnamon cobbler together with a saucy chocolate pudding both recipes by Mary Berry.  Cobbler originated from the English settlers in America, who could not get hold of suet to make a steamed pudding so they devised cobbler instead. Cobbler is a dessert with stewed fruit on the bottom, with scone like topping. Its great served with lashing of custard.

Happy Stir up Sunday!

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!
