This tradition harks back to Victorian times when the family gathered to stir the Christmas pudding and make a wish. If you are planning to make you own, Local Food Britain member John `Bartie’ Bartlett of Bartie’s Sussex Faire, based in Ardingly, has these top tips:

“Always buy the highest quality dried fruit you can possibly afford - it will make a huge difference to the final pudding. And always use the freshest eggs*, and if you are including cherries in your recipe, opt for natural coloured ones.”

If home-baking isn’t your forte, then Bartie will be bringing his Christmas puddings – as well as his tempting range of preserves, chutneys and a Christmas mincemeat - to 14 different farmers markets and food fairs in Sussex this month, including the Weald & Downland Living Museum Christmas Market on November 24 to 26.

Keeping it local

All Bartie's Sussex Faire products (numbering around 80) are home-made using seasonal ingredients from the counties of Sussex and Kent. Some fruits are grown in owner John's own garden and those of friends and neighbours to make it a truly local affair.
