November 8 Pudding Day

Old Skool.

Today was pudding day at Blackstar. We get Aunty Val in to help us make up the puddings for Christmas. The recipe belonged to her grandmother so it is the real deal. We even get dressed up in 30s gear for the occasion. Last year they were really good and sold in a flash. Full of Christmas flavour. This year they will be even better because we are using all organic ingredients. The fruit is macerated in OP rum for a week and then the pudding is made up and wrapped in calico and tied up extremely tight. It is then boiled for six hours and then matured for a month before we allow it to be sold. It is the essence of Slow Food don’t you think?
