Christmas Pudding Order Form
1st Bury St Edmunds (Mayors Own) Scout Group
Dear Parent:
This Christmas we are raising funds for building repairs and modernization.
We would like you to contribute to this fund but you’re in luck. We’ve got something a lot tastier than a raffle ticket. We’ve got The Ultimate Plum Pudding - one of the finest Christmas puddings you can buy. It has been endorsed by the BBC Good Food Magazine and by Chef magazine as being as good as the best home made and in 2003 it won a food ‘Oscar’ – a gold award at the Great Taste Awards, an international competition organised by the Guild of Fine Food Retailers. It is used by top chefs and sold as prestigious private labels throughout the country.
The pudding is made by a small craft manufacturer in Cumbria and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The recipe is a family one but it’s from a family of really good cooks, 3 of them had restaurants in the Good Food Guide. All the vine fruits are soaked overnight in lots of brandy and dry sherry. Fresh breadcrumbs and freshly grated carrot help give the pudding a lighter texture. Ingredients are top quality and much more varied than usual – almonds, walnuts, stem ginger, apricots, cherries as well as the best, juicily alcoholic, raisins and sultanas. We asked why there are no currants and were told – none of us like currants! It’s not steamed until it’s black, caramelised and bitter – it’s light, sweet and aromatic and you can taste every ingredient. Most people have no idea that Christmas pudding can be this good and lots of people enjoy it who ‘don’t like Christmas pudding’.
The Ultimate Plum Pudding is not available in supermarkets (the company is too small for that) but it is available through us. We have had the pudding attractively labelled especially for us. Our label incorporates the winning entry from our ‘Christmas Pudding Label Competition’ held earlier this year and states that the sale of the pudding supports our Scout Group. Your child’s entry could be the winning label! Each order for a 1lb pudding (serves 4) costs £5.50 and raises at least £2.00 for us. (We get bigger discounts the more you order). Pudding prices are comparable with the very best puddings available from retail shops. Our ordering direct from the manufacturer allows there to be a good profit for us within a competitive retail price.
It’s a really great pudding – a true highlight for the meal of the year. We’re proud to offer it and know that you’ll love it. Your family and friends will love it (including the vegetarians). It’s so easy to order from us AND it raises money for Our Scout Group. It has to be worthwhile.
