Originally this favorite Christmas sweet was established in England and dates back to the Middle Ages. It was made of plum porridge consisting of chopped cows tongues, meat broth, raisins and spices. The reason it was called 'Plum Pudding' is because the word 'plum' referred to putting all the ingredients into a cloth that is tied at the top, then boiled until the ingredients are 'plum' which meant enlarged so that it would fill out the cloth. Once unwrapped it was sliced like a cake. Today it is still favorite in many countries but the meat has gone and it is more like a sweetly spiced, heavily fruited moist cake normally warmed and eaten after the main festive meal.

In the 17th century, a quaint old custom for Christmas plum pudding appeared. Tradition says that the pudding must be stirred by every member of the family from east to west in honor of The Three Kings. Silver charms and three penny pieces were favorite to be hidden in the pudding during the cooking. Whilst eating if you dug out a coin you were deemed to be wealthy the following year, a ring you would be married, a thimble an old maid and a button a bachelor. This tradition was enjoyed with much teasing and merry-making!
