Recipes for plum puddings appear mainly, if not entirely,
in the seventeenth century and later. It was not until the
1830s that the cannon-ball of flour, fruits, suet, sugar and
spices, all topped with holly, made a definite appearance,
becoming more and more associated with Christmas.
It appears that Eliza Acton was the first to refer to it as
'Christmas Pudding' in her cookbook
