Tips:
- Use ripe plums. The riper the plums, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be.
- Don't peel the plums. The skin of the plums adds color and flavor to the pudding.
- Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger.
- Grate the ginger finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the pudding.
- Use a combination of spices. The spices in this recipe (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves) complement each other well and create a warm, inviting flavor.
- Don't overcook the pudding. The pudding is done when it is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature. The pudding can be served with whipped cream, ice cream, or custard.
Conclusion:
Plum and ginger pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of sweet plums and spicy ginger is irresistible, and the pudding is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give plum and ginger pudding a try.
