Find Out What A Christmas Pudding Is And How To Make A Christmas Pudding

Traditionally, Christmas puddings are usually made to five weeks before Christmas. This day is known as "Stir-up Sunday". Traditionally everyone in the household, or at least every child, gives the mixture a stir, and makes a wish while doing so.

Christmas puddings have very good keeping properties and many families keep one back from Christmas to be eaten at another celebration later in the year, often at Easter.

Some take the practice so far as to make each year's pudding the previous Christmas. Others claim that this impairs the flavour, but admit that a well-made Christmas pudding will keep at least adequately for a year.
