PLUM PUDDING



Plum Pudding image

An old fashioned plum pudding that was passed down to me from my grandmother, with a modification of using baking mix instead of making the top from scratch. I serve it with ice cream or what I call a Dip made from milk and flavored to taste with cinnamon and vanilla. I let each individual pour on the amount of dip they would like from a small pitcher.

BAKED PLUM PUDDING



Baked Plum Pudding image

Feel free to use your favorite kind of plum for this pudding recipe, but we recommend prune plums, which have an almond-shaped body that tapers at the end. They're on the smaller side, hold up well, and the pit comes off the flesh easily, all of which makes them especially good for baking.
