Walker’s Rich Fruit Pudding - 14.1 Oz Plum Pudding for Christmas - Luxury Holiday Treat and Dessert from Scotland

Walkers Strathspey Rich Fruit Cake — truly the Dowager Countess of desserts. One does not merely nibble this cake, one experiences it, preferably with a sherry in one hand and disdain for lesser puddings in the other. The marzipan topping is as smooth as a Highland lullaby, and the cake itself? Positively brimming with juicy vine fruits and a hint of scandal.Now, I must confess (clutching pearls theatrically) — it was so divine, so utterly scrumptious, I marched straight back and ordered another one… or perhaps several. One cannot, after all, risk a fruitcake famine during times of civilised tea-taking. And might I add, it arrived beautifully boxed, as if it were a Christmas truce offering from the Scottish highlands themselves.Five stars, a standing ovation, and a small curtsy from me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a slice awaiting its destiny beside a proper cuppa.

Our family Xmas recipes were mainly from England so plum pudding was always included. I just didn't have time to steam one as I used to this year so bought this instead. It's small compared to the huge pudding I've always made but the taste is excellent and I'm glad I bought it. I'm not much for adding brandy, rum, etc. to either the pudding or to the sauce as so many are so I'll whip up a batch of Creme Anglaise for this beauty and serve it that way. The ingredients are high quality & it's made beautifully. I may have to order another one at this rate. Anyway, as a long time Xmas steamed pudding maker, I can vouch for the good texture and flavor of this pudding and would recommend it. Now....time to make that rich sauce and have a slice. :)

Excellent dessert for the holidays or other special occasions. Has a great homemade taste

Not bad but you better like the taste of gingerbread and mince together. I do like the taste but other people in the house felt the taste was overwhelming-All the more for me.I wasn’t crazy about the way the crust tasted but the filling was good. I was curious how they tasted and gave them a try but wouldn’t purchase them again.

Tasty, but the amount of pudding is very small for the price - even with the larger size, it only fed four mouths and was gone in an instant. It was a nice treat, but too expensive to try again.

I love the Walkers shortbread and was excited to try these mincemeat meat pies (BTW there is NO meat in them they have a spiced fruit mix filling, I adding that as my mom was initially shocked when I told her I was going to try them as I am a vegetarian, haha). A couple of the pies in my box had small cracks in the top pastry but I did not take off any stars as know these are not made in the US and I am now totally in love with how they taste, but it would be good if they could come up with some non-plastic protection for them.But the the taste, oh wow, I had intended to heat up one mincemeat pie for dessert as a special treat but opened up the tray and they smelled so amazing I had to try one and then another:) Next time I will heat one first and to try and make sure I do that I stored the uneaten ones in the freezer!

This appears to be a very well made product but somehow we just don't like it. It may be too rich for us. Very dense and sweet. Lots of raisins. Walker's is always a favorite for us but this one will probably get thrown out.

I bought these as a treat for myself, and walkers is always fantastically high quality. the essence of Glenfiddich in it was very tasteful as someone who does not like alcohol, and the crust was fantastic. the mince had a rich spice blend that was not too sweet and not overpowering, the only complaint that I had was due to the traditional nature of the mince there appear to be some occasional tiny pieces of grape seeds inside, causing hard crunchiness that is 100% tolerable but was not something I expected upon biting into the pie. I will definitely be ordering these again
