I love this venison pudding recipe. Truly original. You are definitely right adding the dried fruit provides juiciness where you wouldn’t expect any.
Thanks very much. the picture looks so good I had to try it. I found it easy to make and even easier to eat. Unlike other pudding recipes I have tried which often require vast amounts of gravy to make them easy tom eat this one is perfect,
