Does anyone usually buy a poncy and expensive Christmas Pudding? Need recommendations!

[OwlKiss]

We are hosting ILs for Christmas this year.

When we have been to stay with them in the past, MIL has always bought an expensive Christmas pudding, from somewhere like Harrods or Fortnum and Mason, and they are very vocal about the importance of high-quality puddings (they were very delicious, to be fair).

I am happy to go along with buying a luxury pudding, it is once a year after all - and I ^love" Christmas pudding. (I did think of making one, but it is too much pressure for a novice!)

I want to find one from a supplier, that (ideally) wasn't based in London, that would be different from what usually have, but just as good, rather than just copying them and ordering the Harrods one.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I use Nigella’s recipe and use the slow cooker overnight to steam my puddings. I fill the plastic basins, clip on the lid and then cover in foil pretty tightly before putting in the slow cooker and filling it with hot water to above half way up the side of the pudding and then leave it to steam on high for 7 or 8 hours. You might need to check the water occasionally and top up.
