The Proof is in Eating the Pudding

How can a Christmas dinner end without a Christmas Pudding?

A traditional dessert in the UK, Ireland and a few other countries that have British Emigrants. Pud, or Plum pudding as it is known by many, is not made of plums. It has raisins. Plum was a term used for raisins in the pre-Victorian era.

Normally made a month before, sometimes even a year, has a high alcohol content that keeps it from spoiling.
