This Christmas at Education Through Expeditions we are raising funds with the launch of our Polar Pudding. Due to popular demand our Polar Pudding is back for the 3rd year running.

All the profits go towards Education Through Expeditions and our continual work developing our school outreach activities and visits. If you work for a company which would like to make this a campaign, a member of a group or society, a teacher at a school, or would just love to buy a single pudding for Christmas, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please do drop me an email at explore@antonyjinman.com

We’ve got something a lot tastier than the usual festive raffle ticket. We’ve got The Ultimate Plum Pudding – one of the finest Christmas puddings you can buy. It has been endorsed by the BBC Good Food Magazine and by Chef Magazine as being as good as the best home made and has won a food ‘Oscar’ – a gold award at the Great Taste Awards.

The pudding is made by a small craft manufacturer in Cumbria using the finest locally sourced ingredients and is absolutely gorgeous. The vine fruits are soaked overnight in generous quantities of brandy and dry sherry whilst fresh breadcrumbs and grated carrot help give the pudding a lighter texture. Ingredients are top quality and much more varied than usual – almonds, walnuts, stem ginger, apricots, cherries as well as the best, juicily alcoholic, raisins and sultanas. We asked why there are no currants and were told – none of us like currants!

It’s not steamed until its black, caramelised and bitter – it’s light, sweet and aromatic and you can taste a wealth of ingredients in every bite. Most people have no idea that Christmas pudding can be this good and lots of people enjoy it who ‘don’t like Christmas pudding’.

The proof as they say……. (a first-hand experience in an email the company received):

“I really wanted to contact the company to say thank-you for making such a wonderful Christmas pudding. Our daughter attends St Johns Special School in Bedford. We bought one of your Christmas puddings last year but not being a great lover of Christmas pudding it remained uneaten until summer. We decided we better eat it rather than let it go to waste! Well this year I have bought enough for Christmas and beyond because it is the best pudding I have ever tasted. We had it with mascarpone and it was wonderful! Thank you. Ruth Vanner.”

Our Polar Pudding is not available in supermarkets (the company is too small for that) but it is available through Education Through Expeditions. We have had the pudding attractively labelled especially for us to incorporate our logo. Each order for a 1lb pudding (serves 4) costs £5.75 and raises at least £2.00 for us. (We get bigger discounts the more you order). A 2lb (serves costs £9.95 and raises at least £3.50. Ordering direct from the manufacturer allows a good profit for us within a price which is competitive with the premium retail puddings.
It’s a really great pudding – a true highlight for the most loved meal of the year. We’re proud to offer it and know that your family and friends will love it (including the vegetarians). It’s so easy to order from us AND it raises money for ETE. It has to be worthwhile.
