A little history for thee. Plum Pudding ‘tis a lavish steamed or boiled dish, generally served during times of holiday & mirth. It ‘tis so sinfully rich that during ye days of the reign of Puritans in England, it was banished.
Tradition called for baking charms inside a plum pudding. Silver coins represented forthcoming wealth; a silver thimble, a time of thriftiness approaching; a wishbone served as a token of good luck, & a tiny trinket of an anchor represented safe harbor.

- So wherefore ‘tis noble Plum Pudding called such when it contains not one mite of plums?
In the early 17th century, raisins were renown as plums. In Medieval times, dried prunes & plums were used oft times by many good cooks. They were also used by bad cooks, as well as ugly cooks, but that’s a different story.
When thou makest this Village Plum Pudding, everyone in thy house should’st hold the spoon & stir & make a wish that ‘tis certain to come true, according to tradition, that ‘tis!
Thou should’st prepare pudding at least one week ahead of scheduled festivities to allow time for melding of flavors.
Tho the pudding can be steamed in thy oven, our Village Plum Pudding ‘tis prepared in thy microwave.

If thy decide to use oven, allow 6 hours for steaming process. If thy wisely make the pudding in advance, allow 2 hours for reheating before serving at thy festivity.
