Castlemaine’s queen of Christmas puddings, Karen Kelly of Pud for All Seasons, has once again partnered with Amazon Australia to create a unique limited-edition batch of Chrissy puddings.


This year the local small-batch pudding whiz has teamed up with award-winning pastry chef, TV personality and self-titled ‘pastry rebel’, Anna Polyviou, to transform the beloved Christmas pudding once again.


Following the runaway success of last year’s ‘Amazon Aussie Christmas Pudding’, inspired by the iconic Aussie cob loaf dip, it’s clear Aussies crave a savoury pud at the Christmas table.


This year the duo have collaborated to create the ‘Amazon Everything Christmas Pudding’, which will be available exclusively on Amazon.com.au for the Black Friday Sale and is a savoury creation that blends the flavours of a traditional plum pudding with the quintessential tastes of an Aussie Chrissy, into a single bite.


Karen said Anna was a lot of fun to work with.

“Anna is renowned for her creativity and flair. We had a lot of fun creating this unique pud, which has notes of turkey, ham, cherry, pumpkin, onion, gravy, rosemary and more,” Karen said.


Anna she loved the challenge of turning a traditional Christmas pudding into a pudding fit for our great nation in partnership with Karen and the pud experts at Pud For All Seasons.


“Christmas is one of the only times where anything and everything goes. We not only mix mouthfuls, but flavours too, and that’s the magic we wanted to recreate in the ‘Amazon Everything Christmas Pudding’,” Anna said.


“The pud is available for only $10, throughout Amazon’s Black Friday Sale, but based on the popularity of last year’s pud, it will sell fast, so get in early and load up the pantry with the turducken of Xmas desserts!” she said.


The sale starts on November 19 and last year’s 300 puddings sold out within four hours so local punters will need to be quick!


“We have created more puddings this time around so hopefully those keen to try the offering will have more luck getting their hands on one!” Karen said.


Anna has also helped craft three unique sauce recipes for Aussies to make at home and drizzle atop their savoury puddings.


Of course, if it’s a traditional sweet pud you are after Pud For All Seasons have that covered too.


“We have been busy toiling away at our new headquarters at Workspace Australia in Etty Street since February stockpiling all your faves in preparation for the annual Christmas rush,” Karen said.

“The brand new kitchen at Etty Street has allowed us to streamline our production process and made distribution easier.”
