I have made Eliza Acton's Christmas pudding for years, and it is truly fantastic. The simplicity of it somehow seems more Christmas-y to me than the elaborate productions endorsed by celebrity chefs. I use more spice than the recipe calls for, since I'm cooking for American tastes. I also age it for a couple of months, since I usually make it in October. A bit of ageing improves the flavor, but don't believe those who say it improves after years of storage! It certainly will last for years, but from my own puddings, I can say it's best after a few months and kind of creepy after more than a year.

My grandmother would make her plum pudding in November and keep it in a cool dry place. Each week she would soak it in brandy for a bit. By Christmas you could get tipsy from the smell. Then she would bring it to the table and set it on fire. It was surprising that she would use so much alcohol because she was a teetotaler.

Not uncommon for the cooks of the period, and most likely, many sat in a chair to do much of their prepping before standing at the stove to cook it. At least in the US, standardization of cabinets that we know today didn't begin to show until the early 1900's, with standardization of appliances etc coming in the late 30's and 40's. This was also likely before the common use of indoor plumbing as well.
