There’s still time before the big day to make your own Christmas pudding. If you don’t have the time, or inclination, we’ve done a round up of three shop-bought luxury Christmas puddings.
Two of them are veggie friendly, two come in ceramic bowls, all are chock-full of dried fruit that’s been steeped in brandy, rum and/or ale.
- Large classic Christmas pudding (800g): £16.00, Betty’s
Our Classic Christmas Pudding starts with plump, juicy fruits – golden glacé cherries, citrus peel and vine fruits – as well as flaked almonds and mixed spices, all soaked overnight in brandy and Yorkshire ale. After steaming, our puddings are then left to mature for several months, allowing those sumptuous flavours to develop fully in time for Christmas. Vegetarian friendly, the pudding comes presented in a box featuring our charming new design, exclusively illustrated for Betty’s by Yorkshire artist Emily Sutton.
- Organic Christmas pudding in a ceramic bowl (600g): £26.95, Highgrove
Laced with David Ramnoux cognac brandy for that essential boozy touch, the pudding uses local Shipton Mill flour, produced just a short hop from us at Highgrove. Fabulously fruity with an abundance of currants, raisins and candied peel, it’s sweetened with black treacle and brown sugar for a truly rich flavour. Attractively packaged in a box featuring our new Highgrove illustrations, the Christmas pudding is supplied in a china bowl printed with the Prince of Wales feathers logo.
- King George Christmas pudding (907g): £36.95, Fortnum & Mason
Handmade at every stage, our superb King George Christmas Pudding contains real beef suet, as well as Fortnum’s cognac and Pusser’s full-strength Navy rum.
