Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

When it comes to special holiday desserts this plum pudding recipe is one of the best. Packed with the warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, it’s a deeply-spiced dessert that’s perfect for family get togethers or a celebratory meal. The tender and moist pudding is dotted with bits of chewy fruits, like golden raisins, currants and dates that help offer sweet flavor and complex texture. Shredded carrots add even more sweetness to the comforting dessert that gets topped off with a sweet and tangy homemade hard sauce.

Prep: 30 min. Cook: 2 hours. Recipe at ‘Taste of Home’ »

What is a Plum Pudding?

Plum pudding is usually made up of nutmeg, raisins, nuts, apples, cinnamon, and dates, along with other ingredients.  In England, traditionally every person in the home holds onto the wooden spoon together to help stir the batter. While they are stirring, they also make a wish!  

Plum pudding is also called plum duff.
