What it is
Walkers Rich Fruit Pudding is a traditional British dessert made with a blend of dried fruits, suet, and spices. It is typically steamed or boiled in its packaging, resulting in a moist and dense pudding. The rich flavor comes from the combination of plumped raisins, sultanas, and currants, along with warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

To prepare, simply place the pudding basin in a saucepan of boiling water, ensuring the water level reaches about two-thirds of the way up the basin. Cover the saucepan and simmer gently for the time indicated on the packaging, usually around 30-60 minutes depending on the size. Once heated through, carefully remove the basin from the water, invert it onto a serving plate, and allow it to stand for a minute before lifting off the basin. Serve warm.
