What a lovely old lady.

[PureSoapCleans]

I agree, a very lovely and charming lady. I wish that Christmas would last longer. I love Christmas, and try to keep all year long the beautiful spirit of this holy season.

Yes, this lady is quite a treasure. And being the first TV cook is something to be proud of. But honestly, you can't call this a Christmas pudding by a long shot. No suet? And it's looks like a wet slimy blob. A real pudding, like a good fruitcake needs to be steamed or baked {fruitcake} slowly then allowed to ripen for a few weeks or more. There are something's you just don't try and tinker with. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

WHAT IS MOLASSIS? SORRY TO ASK.

My family LOVES Dickens "A Christmas Carol"...always wanted to try some Christmas pudding like the Cratchit's...the wife and I decided to try this easy method...we substituted REAL Vermont Maple Syrup for the treacle/molasses....it turned out GREAT!!!

Lovely lady...awesome new tradition for our family!!

[Sewfun69]

This looks like a very nice pudding,I shall try this one ,since i never had much luck with the traditional way of making it, plus too much work involved in the old method.Molassis is very close to Treacle in the UK.Thanks for the video here. :)

wow quicker than she looks!!!

This pudding traditionally takes 13 hours to cook and is made one year in advance. It needs to be kept to bring out the flavours and if you don't have a cool dry place to keep it then just freeze it. The Victorians didn't have sell-by-dates and microwaves they just used quality organic ingredients; butter, sugar, bread, dried fruit and alcohol and it kept perfectly. Sweet lady but I prefer the traditional ingredients and the old way of making this classic. I presume this is a butter ad.
