Welcome to Paul's Xmas Pudding Recipe

The most comrehensive site about Christmas Pudding!

This recipe site has been extended and is now probably the most comprehensive resource on Xmas, or Christmas Puddings. I've included Pudding sauces, Pudding jokes, Pudding alternate ingredients, photos, Christmas Pudding stories, what to do with left-over Christmas Pudding, Christmas Pudding traditions, and, there's even an arcade type game "Puddingoids"! After 25 years, this is by far my best recipe. I hope your family and guests will think so too. I have tried to answer every question, and have made this an EASY recipe for anyone who wants to make a real traditional Christmas/Plum pudding.

 Please sign my visitors book (ask me questions via Send a Note page please), share your christmas traditions with the world, add to the associated recipes, share any funny pudding stories (or disasters!)

If I have got anything wrong, please let me know, I'm always willing to learn! Oh, and why is it "traditional"? Not because the pudding contains meat, it hasn't, although I believe the recipes over over 200 years ago did, it's traditional because it still requires Suet, and some time to prepare the ingredients, and eight hours to steam! Let me just say, on Christmas day, you will say to yourself "It was all worth it!" 

UPDATE Jan '08

I have mentioned on this site that I don't think it's a good idea to either cook or reheat this pudding using a Microwave, here is another reason why you might not want to;

It's a newspaper article about a pudding (not mine!) that exploded and set fire to a Microwave!
