Have I seen some of the episodes before? Yes. Will I still watch this? Absolutely. I'm sure you've heard this a million times by now but your content is a perfect break from this modern world. I just love listening to your videos both at home and at work. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Townsend and Co.
We still have "plum pudding" here in the UK. We now just call it a Christmas Pudding. We usually serve it with cream or brandy butter. Very rich and beautiful. And yes, we still do use suet.
@@deltonmcclary7341 It's lard, basically. But it's the purest kind of lard and has an extremely mild flavor. Clarified butter or duck fat would probably be the best sub. Tallow wouldn't work, the flavor is too strong.🤷🏼♀️
Just finished making the apple pie, today! I didn't have any lemons, so I used orange. Still came out AMAZING! THANK YOU Townsends, for all you do! Cheers!
Christmas pudding / plum pudding is still a favourite in all the countries of Britain, not just England. Brandy butter is the traditional accompaniment, but I prefer custard or cream. Thank you so much for this vid. Perfect watching for a stormy afternoon in Wales 🎄
"You don't need a whole half of a nutmeg".... (Insert scoff here as only our Nutmeg King could) ..."but could you go wrong"?? 😂😂😂 Never stop the nutmeg running joke Jon!!
Thank you so much, I watcched the Thanksgiving marathon and now this one. Perfect while I plan my holiday baking and cooking. I love seeing your daughter when she was a wee girl and now nearly grown up! What a delight. Thank you.
Thank you Jon for sharing this time and all those recipes and Guests who were cooking the fabulous recipes, and a special thanks for including your daughter Ivy into the videos. Ivy was precious from her first video and on up into her position in the Family Business where she is a big help and does so many things to maintain the business you all run. You all are wonderful and do the History of our great Nation a big service for carrying on our early history in your Continued Family Business. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Fred.
My word, the mince pie episode with Ivy was delightful! She had such an inquisitive mind and asked just the right questions while you were creating the batter. I imagine she is nearly an adult young woman now. My how time flies by us. I wish I had done something similarly cool with my son when he was young, but all we have is mostly pictures (Smart phones did not exist for the average working family at the time).
Now i want to bake cookies and cakes and pies oh my! What a cozy marathon Townsend's, I just love Jon's enthusiasm for the Christmas holiday. 🤗 Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! 🤗🎄✨
Thank you for this post, the plumb pudding brought back so many memories of growing up at Christmas. Mother made it every year and served it with a lemon sauce, I sure do miss the old gal and her plumb pudding.
Plum, just like the fruit. As he explained, back then the word "plum" just meant anything sweet, usually though it referred to raisins. Similarly, "currant" in these old cookbooks meant a smaller type of raisin, not currants.
Ivy is so darling, reminds me of my daughter. She is all grown up now and lives far away and has her own family now. I miss my little girl but they cant be little forever I know. Enjoy them while you can they grew up fast and then they are gone.
Thank you for this! Some of the Christmas episodes got categorized under RUclips Kids and didn't allow us to save them in playlists, so this makes it much easier to find certain recipes.
I love these marathons! I work with my hands as a solder technician, but the work is often repetitive so I can listen to this as I work and not have to stop to select new videos. Only problem is RUclips is now peppering us with ads every ten minutes.
My great grandmother used to roast chestnuts for us at the Holidays. She soaked them in salted water all day, cut them in an X ⅞ of the way around, and then roasted them. When they popped open, she would drizzle melted butter and salt on them after they were peeled. That huge X allowed the chestnuts to pop open like popcorn. They were easy to peel that way. Now I need to find some for myself, and introduce my grandkids to it.
John, the waffle iron episode...look up Krumkake. You want to beat the cream until stiff. Mix egg and sugar separate bowl. If you have a recipe that adds 1 tsp of melted butter it helps. Sift dry ingredients together. Gently Fold all together. Have iron med-high. 1 Tbs. Batter in center, close. Approx 35 sec one side, 25 sec the other side.
We always had plum pudding for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But I am the only one in my family that likes it now, so I haven't made it in years. Guess I will have to make it this year. Thanks for reminding me of it. My grandmother's family was from England, so we always called it Grandma's pudding. We always poured turkey gravy over it.
Look at Michael's wonderful period-correct pants with knickerbockers and everything! Good for him! For whatever reason, Jon simply cannot be bothered to invest in the proper pants.
Being someone who has roasted chestnuts without soaking or cutting them first......yes you really do need to do those steps hahaha unless you want another job of cleaning the oven of bits of nuts at Christmas.
Joyeux Noël (English: Merry Christmas) is a 2005 war drama film based on the Christmas truce of December 1914, depicted through the eyes of French, British, and German soldiers. It was written and directed by Christian Carion. Unifiying humanity. GREAT FILM!
Hi Jon . I was just wondering if lard would work in place of frozen vegetable shortening. I remember watching my mom making pie crust from lard. Best pie crust ever !
A family tradition, mum grandmothers making the pudding week's before Christmas. Us children were all told to stir it 7 times and make a wish Then a sixpence coin was put in. They would take pudding out and pour more brandy in. Every other week. Then setting the pudding on fire afore serving. What is there not to like
The Deep Fried Cookies look a lot like “klejner” - a Scandinavian Christmas stable. Vierling is old form meaning “four (small) units” in german (vier means four)
Christmas Pudding is just boiled Fruit cake. I love a good fruit cake. Those drunk fruit cakes, you have to taste the liquor. Also, I'm confused. Is this Kitchen a Movie/TV Set or an actual house?
ALways cook your turkey breast down with a baste of butter seasonings and broth - chicken or turkey what ever you can find. It won't be magazine pretty, but it will be moist and tender, even the white meat. The thighs will also be cooked through at the same times as the rest.
Just watched the Plum Pudding portion and I'm thinking I'm going to have to try that, sounds delicious! Could I use part of an old clean white t-shirt to wrap it in or is that too finely woven?
make sure it’s 100% cotton before anything but I’ve definitely come across t shirts that are almost a muslin (like a light tea towel) it may have to be your own judgment call

I’ve never seen any of these episodes, I’m in for such a treat! Merry Christmas, everyone!
Same! Merry Christmas!
By the end you'll probably have a shopping list of ingredients for things to try! I know I will. :)
Merry Christmas!
@@MapleRhubarbI’ve already decided a proper Christmas pudding is a must for this year! Can’t wait!
They are clips from many years ago. Still great to watch
Man, I love these marathons

We still have "plum pudding" here in the UK. We now just call it a Christmas Pudding. We usually serve it with cream or brandy butter. Very rich and beautiful. And yes, we still do use suet.
Same in Australia. We usually have it with vanilla custard here. It's one of my favourite parts of Christmas.
Is suet as hard to find in the UK as it is in here in the states? I cant find it anywhere except online and I want to make this recipe😢
Is there a good alternate to the suet by chance?

@@dpelpal thank you!!
I hope all of you in the Townsends family, crew and audience have a wonderful holiday season.
Ivy is so sweet. It’s nice to see her grow from a little girl to a lovely young lady.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door. 🇦🇺

I was waiting for him to say that.

When I was young we used to get chestnuts from street carts in New York City in the winter around Christmas!
They were wonderful!!
You’re baby girl is so sweet! ❤I can’t believe how fast she’s grown up!
This is the perfect video for today, thank you Townsends crew!
Cooking with your kid. So glorious. Congratulations on being able to do it.
I'm watching this with my cat on my lap on a snowy day. Perfect day to watch this
Happy Christmas, thanks so much for the wonderful content and the wealth of history you provide to all!

rarely do I comment, but I really do enjoy these marathons!
I think plum pudding with an actuall dried plum would be amazing. I love dried plums.
That would be a prune pudding aka laxative pudding
Now I’m hungry. Love these recipes!
Love the marathons 😊 HAPPY HOLIDAYS 🎄

This is amazing! This recipe had me thinking. Do you have a recipe for an 18th-century fruit cake?
Merry Christmas 😂
*half a nutmeg grated
I think we all know why Jon chose this plum pudding recipe.😁
Thank you for doing what you do, love your vids.
Ivy is so darling, reminds me of my daughter. She is all grown up now and lives far away and has her own family now. I miss my little girl but they cant be little forever I know. Enjoy them while you can they grew up fast and then they are gone.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Mr Townsend I hope and pray for all of us for good health peace and happiness! God Bless All
we always add chestnuts to our stuffing for thanksgiving. you might also try marron glace with them. soooooo good
Oh my, just scrolled across this, can't wait to watch & share!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎅
Thank you for this! Some of the Christmas episodes got categorized under RUclips Kids and didn't allow us to save them in playlists, so this makes it much easier to find certain recipes.
I loved watching this. It was such a Christmas treat 🥰
I pre ordered some fruit cake and three different German xmas cookies this year. Next year will be figgy & plum pudding!
Awesome
Thank you really enjoyed video Merry Christmas
The wood ash and sour milk are all about, waste not, want not. ❤

What a special recipe! Thank you for sharing :)
The lemon cheesecake has all the ingredients of a lemon curd which is delicious. It looks great
Hey 👋👋👋 Merry Christmas 😊
The Cratchitt xmas pudding scene was something thats always stuck with me.
My great grandmother used to roast chestnuts for us at the Holidays. She soaked them in salted water all day, cut them in an X ⅞ of the way around, and then roasted them.
When they popped open, she would drizzle melted butter and salt on them after they were peeled.
That huge X allowed the chestnuts to pop open like popcorn. They were easy to peel that way.
Now I need to find some for myself, and introduce my grandkids to it.
One of iconic things about our Christmas memories, is the food, and the scents of dinner in the home! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🥧🥂🫕🍠🍽🎅
I do miss seeing Ivy do recipes, so seeing these was a treat!
Great compilation. It put into perspective how long you've been doing this with Ivy.
John, the waffle iron episode...look up Krumkake. You want to beat the cream until stiff. Mix egg and sugar separate bowl. If you have a recipe that adds 1 tsp of melted butter it helps. Sift dry ingredients together. Gently Fold all together. Have iron med-high. 1 Tbs. Batter in center, close. Approx 35 sec one side, 25 sec the other side.
Could people without a iron cook it on a griddle like a crepe?
Now that this video is out I can say it's officially Christmas time!
We always had plum pudding for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But I am the only one in my family that likes it now, so I haven't made it in years. Guess I will have to make it this year. Thanks for reminding me of it. My grandmother's family was from England, so we always called it Grandma's pudding. We always poured turkey gravy over it.
Thank You ...
My family has made this every year for ages, even before I was born. Instead of brandy, we use spiced rum.
Shout out to all my folks who grew up being confused by ‘plum’ pudding, sugar plums, sweetmeats and sweetbreads
What a treat!
Look at Michael's wonderful period-correct pants with knickerbockers and everything! Good for him! For whatever reason, Jon simply cannot be bothered to invest in the proper pants.
Coriander cookies sound like a version of hard tack style preservation.
Was that Ivy in both the Mince meat pie episode and the Wafer Iron recipe? Now she is all grown up and working on your live episode on Fridays!
You look exactly like Les Stroud and I just can't get over that
Being someone who has roasted chestnuts without soaking or cutting them first......yes you really do need to do those steps hahaha unless you want another job of cleaning the oven of bits of nuts at Christmas.
Here in Perthshire, Scotland we eat a similar pudding called Clootie Dumpling all year round. Hot, with cream and a glass of whisky
Holy Nutmeg!!! I guess Harry Potter marathon is having its year off when you can watch THIS >_
"Bedight"! Max Miller's new favorite word!

Roasted chestnuts are yummy.

Good talk
lazy sunday so lets watch a marathon

Then a sixpence coin was put in.

Those wafers could probably be made in a modern cast iron pizzelle iron. I’m thinking they are related to an Italian pizzelle
Cue Max "clank clank" for wafers.
Pretty sure you have two recipes for the same Christmas coriander cookie back-to-back.
The Deep Fried Cookies look a lot like “klejner” - a Scandinavian Christmas stable. Vierling is old form meaning “four (small) units” in german (vier means four)
In nicer grocery stores, you can find French candied chestnuts. Delicious.
Wow pineapples well. 🍍 that's a flex anybody notice the bougie fruits?
Christmas Pudding is just boiled Fruit cake. I love a good fruit cake. Those drunk fruit cakes, you have to taste the liquor. Also, I'm confused. Is this Kitchen a Movie/TV Set or an actual house?

We had our pudding with a "hard sauce".
come on guys... this is basically a Pound Cacke!!!
What if you cut them in half? 1:04:48
"Bedight" is back!
Your little girl is so cute!!!!
A wonderful series to use the autumn blessings of harvest season. Favorite is the plum pudding. 😊
The "go ahead" disease. Next you will put super in front of everything

@@ConLustig yes I'd definitely make sure it's 100% cotton, already got enough plastic in our diets! Thanks.

I love apple pie. Do you eat mince pies in America? Used to have meat but now we usually just include the suet
how much lard do you need when deep frying? i never know how much i need to melt
Is it possible to get copies of The Raised Hearth cookbook?
16:39 Jon's a time travaler?
I think that plums used to be smaller otherwise, if it were grapes, it would say to deseed not to stone the fruit. Just my opinion✌️❤️😁
Hey all. Is it possible to make a pudding with put suet?
Sounds like origins of fruit cake
Hmmmm. Cast Iron Dutch oven with lid and put in oven and let them explode... or do they obliterate?
Sea water, so salted water?
What is that skreaking sound during the guitar music?
i think you are referring to the fingers moving over the strings. Have you played acoustic guitar before?
@@y6cd3sdzHs1g No, and this is the only guitar music that I hear it on... Odd.
