My Christmas Pudding Challenge: to use all wild or garden-harvested fruits

…I succeeded! Our puddings were made with hedgecurrants (dried elderberries), home-grown dried apple and plums, candied angelica harvested from a Welsh small-holding, a grated fresh carrot and stoned sloes from 2007 sloe gin. I can’t say how they taste yet but they look good…

Update after eating:

And it was good! More tart (mouthwatering), than a typical Christmas pudding but with the same deep, dark squidgyness. It felt somehow exotic to eat, in the sense of unusual but special.
