Rag Puddings - September 2009

Rag Puddings from Jackson's Farm FayreAlbion Farm Shop are now suppliers of the delicious Jackson's Farm Fayre rag puddings. Made from suet, flour and beef, the puddings take their name from the cloths they are wrapped in whilst boiled.

Rag puddings are a traditional Lancastrian savoury dish. It is believed they were created by poverty-stricken housewives who would collect scraps of meat and wrap them in a suet pastry casing to make a meal. Today they are made with silverside beef, no added preservative and a gravy which is made from a special secret recipe.
