So, people always get a little green when they talk about Christmas Pudding. I love it. The secret ingredient is suet. Christmas pudding recipes!

According to Blue Marble Bounty, “suet is raw beef (or mutton) fat, especially the fat found around the loins and kidneys. It may is used to make everything from candles to Christmas pudding. Suet is solid at room temperature, but starts to melt at around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature is warmer, beef fat can melt or turn rancid, and it’s safer to use cakes of hard rendered suet. You can buy commercial suet cakes, or you can make your own using rendered suet.”
