Who’d have thought a dense, brown, cannon ball of a pudding would be the way almost all of us round off a heaving feast of equally rich and decadent delights? While the Christmas pudding might not be the exotic, expensive thing it was when it first came to fruition, it’s certainly stood the test of time, making an appearance year after year on dining tables across the UK. Despite the groans and protests from people who have overindulged, they all seem to find just enough room for a bowl of figgy pudding, with a hefty dollop of brandy butter on top.
The shops know this all too well, and many of the big supermarkets offer a whole range of Christmas puds to tempt us. Some stick to tradition while others come infused with the latest trendy flavours and dusted with gold. If you’re the organised type of home cook then you might already have your homemade pudding maturing away in the cupboard; the rest of us however rely on someone else to create it for us. That’s why we tasted our way through a whopping fifteen different puddings – here were our favourites.
