About Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding

About Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding

Not every Christmas needs a pudding the size of a cannonball. Sometimes it just needs one with your name on it.

The Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding is the small one: dark, rich and exactly what a British Christmas tastes like when you are a few thousand miles from it.

It suits a quiet Christmas in Canada, a table for two, or the person who swears they are too full and then asks if there is any going.

It is the UK pudding, and it ships from within Canada, so the only hard part left is deciding who has to share.

Frequently asked questions about Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding

Q: How big is it?

A: It is the small 112g pudding, enough for one, or for two who are willing to negotiate. Plenty of people buy a couple so nobody has to.

Q: Is it a good gift for someone who misses home?

A: Very much so. It fits easily into a parcel or a stocking, and it says more than another pair of socks ever will.

Q: How do I serve it?

A: Warm it through following the instructions on the pack, then add custard, cream or brandy butter. Setting it alight is optional, but it is tradition.

More about Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding

In Britain the Christmas pudding is the last act of the big dinner. The lights go off, something warming gets splashed over the top, a match is struck, and for one tense moment everyone wonders about the tablecloth. Then comes custard, cream or brandy butter, depending on which side of the family you come from.

People in Canada look for it because the rest of the day can be in place (the turkey, the crackers, the relatives on a video call) and it still feels a step short without the pudding. A small one means you do not need a crowd to justify it.

The size makes it a pudding for one, or for two people who get on very well. It sits quietly in the cupboard until it is wanted, so you can tuck it away in November and rediscover it during the Boxing Day cupboard raid. Warm it through, follow the pack, and serve.

It tends to land in the basket next to crackers, mince pies and something chocolate for later. Plenty of people buy two: one to eat, and one as a Christmas gift for someone who misses home.

The story of Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding

Somebody undo a button

Christmas dinner has a running order, and the pudding always comes last. Everyone has sworn they are full. Somebody has quietly undone a button. Then it lands on the table and, somehow, a spoon turns up in every hand. The Thursday Cottage Christmas Pudding is handmade, by a firm that started life in a Somerset cottage, and it brings that whole scene with it to Christmas in Canada. Who gets the last spoonful is between you and your family.

Read the full story

A cottage called Thursday

Thursday Cottage was founded in 1963 in a cottage of that name outside Spaxton, Somerset. Not Monday, not Friday. Thursday. For many years the business was owned and run by Hugh and Pam Corbin of Lyme Regis, who sold it in 2002. Today Thursday Cottage is an independent part of the Tiptree group, and production is based at Trewlands Farm in Tiptree, Essex, where the range is still handmade. New address. Still done by hand.

Small batches, serious relatives

Thursday Cottage specialises in luxury handmade jams, marmalades and curds for the independent trade, and each boil still produces only about 100 jars. That is not a factory. That is a kitchen with standards. Its parent, Wilkin & Sons Ltd, was established in Tiptree, Essex, in 1885, and has held a Royal Warrant for preserves and marmalades continuously since 1911. It now holds the warrant as Purveyors of Tiptree Products to King Charles III. Not a bad family to marry into.

The rest of the family

The pudding gets the spotlight at Christmas, but the range is mostly about the jar. There is an Amaretto Butter, sold as a twist on traditional brandy butter and handmade in small batches. There is a Fine Cut Orange Marmalade with Whisky, and a Strawberry Jam with Champagne, which sounds like a jam that has just come back from a wedding. Small boils, still by hand. A taste of home at Christmas, when home is a long way off.
