Plum pudding is best when prepared early, with traditional recipes suggesting it be made during Advent to develop flavors and celebrate family bonding.
American culinary legend James Beard mentioned that plum pudding was typically made in early Advent and it was customary for each family member to stir it for good luck.
The dish is versatile, allowing substitutions like dried fruits instead of currants, or enriching with vegetable shortening instead of traditional suet.
For serving, while crème anglaise is popular, alternatives include hard sauce or even store-bought vanilla ice cream.
