As Stir Up Sunday (Nov 24th) approaches, DukesHill has revealed the methods that make all the difference to its award-winning handmade Christmas pudding: weighing, steaming and maturing the puddings in-house.
If you're pushed for time this year, DukesHill's Christmas pudding is the closest way you can enjoy a genuine, traditional pudding exactly like you'd make at home. Prepared by hand with no commercial shortcuts, this pudding is loaded with vine-ripened fruits, cherries and free-range eggs, and is steeped in premium French Brandy for a rich and nuanced flavour.
DukesHill opts for butter rather than suet, creating a cleaner finish and making the pudding irresistibly moist and vegetarian-friendly. Nicky Biddulph, Master Pudding Maker at DukesHill, says: "A proper Christmas pudding brings warmth and joy to the festive table. Our team takes great pride in handcrafting each pudding, and it's a real labour of love.
“We select only the finest ingredients to make sure each pudding tastes homemade, just as it would in your own kitchen.”
