Christmas Pudding Traditions! Stir up Sunday...
This is traditionally the day in which families gather to stir, and steam, the Christmas pudding. A little ahead of the game, we've already gathered as a family at LHC HQ around a very sticky table, to collectively execute a much treasured family recipe: our founder Steve's grandmother's pudding.
It's not something we can imagine festivities without, so this year we're sharing the recipe with you. We can promise you, it's simple and it's a keeper.
The question is... which honey for the pudding? We've got two particular favourites here, Ling and Zambian, both of which have a particularly thick and treacle-like texture which is a pleasure to spoon into the mix.
More importantly both have the strength of character to sing through in the finished result. Our Ling honey has the savoury aromatics of the heather moors, and Zambian distills the nectar of the rainforest. Thanks to the utter remoteness of this particular nectar, it is also possible to truly call this one organic.
We'd recommend Zambian for any gingerbreads, parkins, malt loaves and fruit cakes you might happen to find yourself baking too. Or set yourself up with our new family size 1kg Blossom tubs — always pure single origin, always British, and always better value…
