The holiday period can get so chaotic that even the most important things — like a Christmas dessert — get forgotten. As a staunch pre-planner (I love a list), I’m fond of curating my Christmas plans months in advance. But this year, I forgot arguably the most important thing (here in the U.K. at least): Christmas Pudding.
For those who aren’t familiar with the delicacy that is Christmas Pudding, it’s basically a traditional English dessert made with raisins, currants, orange peel, and spices. Usually doused liberally in brandy and served flaming, and always brought out alongside custard or cream. Oh, and it takes up to six months to make properly.
