has ingredient member of multi-component fruit product Christmas pudding A type of pudding traditionally served as part of the Christmas dinner in the UK, Ireland and in other countries where it has been brought by Irish and British immigrants. Despite the name "plum pudding", the pudding contains no actual plums due to the pre-Victorian use of the word "plums" as a term for raisins. The pudding is traditionally composed of thirteen ingredients, symbolizing Jesus and the Twelve Apostles, including many dried fruits held together by egg and suet, sometimes moistened by treacle or molasses and flavoured with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and other spices. The pudding is usually aged for a month or more, or even a year; the high alcohol content of the pudding prevents it from spoiling during this time.[wikipedia:Christmas_pudding] SIREN DB annotation: * whole, shape achieved by forming FOODON:03430147 * fully heat-treated FOODON:03440014 * fruit, peel present, core, pit or seed present FOODON:03420140 * alcoholated FOODON:03460160 * ingredient: spice or herb added FOODON:03460151 * ingredient: grain added FOODON:03460152 * ingredient: animal fat or oil added FOODON:03460262 plum pudding seedless raisin (dried) dessert (us cfr) requires discussion
