Walker’s Rich Fruit Pudding - 14.1 Oz Plum Pudding for Christmas - Luxury Holiday Treat and Dessert from Scotland

Our family Xmas recipes were mainly from England so plum pudding was always included. I just didn't have time to steam one as I used to this year so bought this instead. It's small compared to the huge pudding I've always made but the taste is excellent and I'm glad I bought it. I'm not much for adding brandy, rum, etc. to either the pudding or to the sauce as so many are so I'll whip up a batch of Creme Anglaise for this beauty and serve it that way. The ingredients are high quality & it's made beautifully. I may have to order another one at this rate. Anyway, as a long time Xmas steamed pudding maker, I can vouch for the good texture and flavor of this pudding and would recommend it. Now....time to make that rich sauce and have a slice. :)

I love the Walkers shortbread and was excited to try these mincemeat meat pies (BTW there is NO meat in them they have a spiced fruit mix filling, I adding that as my mom was initially shocked when I told her I was going to try them as I am a vegetarian, haha). A couple of the pies in my box had small cracks in the top pastry but I did not take off any stars as know these are not made in the US and I am now totally in love with how they taste, but it would be good if they could come up with some non-plastic protection for them.But the the taste, oh wow, I had intended to heat up one mincemeat pie for dessert as a special treat but opened up the tray and they smelled so amazing I had to try one and then another:) Next time I will heat one first and to try and make sure I do that I stored the uneaten ones in the freezer!

Delicious. No one makes mince pies anymore and nostalgic for me to have Piece yearly to remember my mother! Shortbread crust

Not bad but you better like the taste of gingerbread and mince together. I do like the taste but other people in the house felt the taste was overwhelming-All the more for me.I wasn’t crazy about the way the crust tasted but the filling was good. I was curious how they tasted and gave them a try but wouldn’t purchase them again.

Tasty, but the amount of pudding is very small for the price - even with the larger size, it only fed four mouths and was gone in an instant. It was a nice treat, but too expensive to try again.

This appears to be a very well made product but somehow we just don't like it. It may be too rich for us. Very dense and sweet. Lots of raisins. Walker's is always a favorite for us but this one will probably get thrown out.

Delicious fruit cake.

I've always wanted to try a Fruit Pudding so I spent the $21.99 and ordered it on December 31st. Received it January 4 and was excited to taste it and enjoy this specialty as outlined in the description: "Luxury Christmas pudding: Indulge in a signature take on a holiday classic with Walker’s flavorful plum pudding, thoroughly steamed for that rich moist Christmas pudding taste we all love". I was expecting a sweet Christmas tradition. Upon opening the package, I found a very thick undiscernible very dark conglomeration of something in the shape of a small somewhat flattened dome with no scent of dessert. It was tough to cut into and really didn’t have much of an aroma of anything representing a holiday. Now, mind you I’m not Scottish nor an expert on Fruit Pudding, but this was a new experience. I cut a small sliver of this dessert and sat down to enjoy it. Much to my surprise, it was not at all pleasant. It was tasteless, a little bitter with no visible fruits or a pleasantly sweet dessert. In short, it was thick, tasteless and not palatable at all. I gave it another try the next night and, nope, the same thing. Bottom line is that my garbage disposal enjoyed it more than I did. Since this was an eatable purchase I didn’t think it was returnable. I later found out that in the purchase information indicated that it was.If this is a traditional Christmas dessert and you like Fruit Pudding, this is for you. Not for me.
