How far in advance of christmas is it necessary to make a christmas pudding? In any cooking, I always prefer making home-made recipes instead of store-bought food but should christmas puds be the exception to this? I have never made one before and imagine that they might be hard to get right? Thanks.
Christmas puddings were traditionally made on stir-up Sunday which is the Sunday before Advent, which was last Sunday! I suppose there are so many things to do before Christmas this was one which could be done a month in advance.
