Plum Pudding, also known as Christmas pudding, originated in England and is traditionally made five weeks before Christmas, on Sunday before Advent begins.
The day of preparation, "Stir-up Sunday," is a family affair. Each family member or child in the household stirs the pudding and makes a wish. Prunes are the main ingredient, ergo plum pudding. Silver coins for increased wealth, wishbones for good luck, a silver thimble signifying thriftiness, a ring to protect or bring on marriage, and an anchor for safe harbor and security are added to the batter.
Traditionally, plum pudding is without refrigeration. When the family was ready to eat, steam was applied to return the moisture.
