Matthew Walkers Classic Christmas Pudding - 800g - 28.2oz | Traditional Recipe with Port, French Cognac, Sultanas, Almonds, Cinnamon, Clove and Derbyshire Stout, Imported from England

Great Product. Was having issues locating Christmas pudding so tried this product. Super

Loved it. Delicious. Highly recommend purchasing this.

Always good taste we enjoy every year thanks

Microwaved as directed, allowing for proper cooling, and the result was delicious. Lathered in brandy butter resulted in a crazy good 'figgy pudding' as we call it here. A Christmas tradition come alive. "We won't go until we've got some..."

These are fine if you are going to eat them on your own, you glutton! but I would be cautious about serving them to guests. For example, I'd prepare at least one on my own before I would serve it to guests. I think the fruit is fine. But they're a bit dry. And this is unpleasant, unless you properly hydrate them. Yes, I know, that's why you steam them before serving. But because they start out so dry, steaming is a lengthy process, and it's anything but easy to know when you've steamed them adequately. My comparison is the Christmas Pudding my mom (yes! dear old mum) used to make and they were AWESOME ... and never dry. Never. So this is "not my Mom's Christmas Pudding". But as I say, the fruit is fine, so if you do "re-hydrate" them well, and serve with plenty of Brandy Butter they'll do just fine.

Traditional English Christmas Pudding! For a little taste of home. Heat in steamer for 2 hours then flambe with warmed brandy and serve with brandy butter sauce!!

This Christmas pudding arrived leaking into the outer packaging. Upon inspection I found the interior covering the actual pudding had been split....almost like it had been opened and re-sealed!! Needless to say it will not be served on Christmas Day! Plus, it's too late to order another. My tip would be to order WAY ahead of the holidays and inspect immediately for anything that looks suspicious because the outer covering on mine was completely was sealed so it makes me think it was opened then resealed!!

I bought this to take to my mother-in-laws at Christmas so the family could taste a little traditional English Christmas Pudding. I personally didn't like it as a child (I am English), but as an adult I now have an appreciation for this rather tasty pudding (which really isn't a pudding). It was moist and delicious, but don't over heat in the microwave. If I had the time, I would have heated it the old fashioned way, by steaming it. I will definitely be buying again. Goes great with either Devonshire Custard or Bird's Eye Custard.
