Christmas Pudding

Our new friends down the road are English! So they have his great-great-grandmothers recipee for Christmas pudding. They made 5 and handed one on to us on Christmas morning. We gave them some fruit mince pies.

We never got around to brandy sauce, but we had some spare cream, and got them out for dessert night.
We had multiple discussions about chocolate sauce and sprinkles on the icecream, and why you don't do that all the time, especially when there is proper English pudding in the bowl too...
The summary is, sprinkles and chocolate sauce are a treat amongst treats. These are important concepts!
