The clocks went back today. So the challenge is: what to do with the extra hour? Go back to bed with a cup of tea and the newspaper? Get an extra hour's weeding done in the garden? Join a neighbour for a cuppa at 4 pm? Or put the Christmas pudding (actually 2 bowls of) in the pressure cooker in readiness for the gathering of the clan this year?
The answer is: all of these! In the porch is the big crockery bowl containing all the ingredients for the pud.
The recipe is posted on the weblog of Cornflower. Many thanks! It calls for a fruit I had never heard of - D'Agen Prunes. They are French and absolutely lovely!
The last of the packet as seen in my mother's 1940s little 'bridge dish'.
