Alnwick Rum Christmas Pudding with NUTS

The Pud, The Bad and The Ugly – 20/20 Review by The Independent
The pud, the bad and the ugly: 15 Christmas puddings are put to the taste test
(ALNWICK RUM) THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING CHRISTMAS PUDDING
20/20

Made to a family recipe on a Northumberland farm by Susan Green, who refuses to swerve beef suet, this lighter-style pud had the tasters in ecstasies. ‘A most attractive pudding. You can taste all the different flavours.’ The generous slug (6 per cent) of Alnwick rum also drew accolades: ‘You can tell that everything has been steeped in alcohol. I really like this.’ This nonpareil achieved an accolade achieved by no other rival in the tasting: a request for seconds.

Alnwick Rum Butter

This home made Alnwick Rum Butter is perfect for accompanying either variations of the Alnwick Rum Christmas Pudding and is also delicious on warm mince pies.

The butter will keep for 20 weeks in your fridge and can be frozen.
