We thought it might be fun to revisit the 7 hats of Christmas that Vivian put together last year. She was inspired by everything from jingle bells to plum pudding to the “jolly old elf”.

About ‘Plum Pudding’
There is a popular myth that plum pudding’s association with Christmas goes back to a custom in medieval England that the “pudding should be made on the 25th Sunday after Trinity, that it be prepared with 13 ingredients to represent Christ and the 12 apostles, and that every family member stir it in turn from east to west to honour the Magi and their journey in that direction”.
Recipes for plum puddings appear mainly, if not entirely, in the 17th century and later. One of the earliest plum pudding recipes is given by Mary Kettilby in her 1714 book, “A Collection of above Three Hundred Receipts in Cookery, Physick and Surgery.” Learn more » »
P.S. In my part of England recipes are called receipts. Vivian.
