what did you serve it on?
Ah, Mr. Capon. I have so enjoyed both your recipes and your books, for both of which I thank you. A dear cousin in Quebec sends us a plum pudding every year at Christmas. I do approximately your recipe but add nutmeg and finely minced lemon peel. Then, of course, toward the end of our reveillon, we heat up and then light up some brandy to pour over the pud, slice and serve it up with a puddle of hard sauce on the top. And finally, after the parting glass, it's off to dream of sugar plums.
Serve it on Christmas pudding. I topped servings of Walkers Rich Fruit Pudding with a spoonful. It's an acquired taste--not for everyone. ;-)

Serve with bread pudding- use bourbon!
