Fruit Pudding

Another traditional Scottish delicacy, fruit pudding is suitable for frying or grilling. This delicious, sweet, and savoury pudding is made using breadcrumbs, ginger, cinnamon, plump sultanas, and currants. It is fantastic when served with crispy bacon and a runny free-range egg.

Fruit pudding is a Scottish dish that consists of a mixture of wheat or oatmeal flour, breadcrumbs, beef suet, brown sugar, currants, raisins, sultanas, salt, and cinnamon, formed into the shape of a large sausage. Typically cut into slices and fried, it is an optional feature of the traditional Scottish breakfast. Although served in this context as part of a savoury meal, its close relationship to clootie dumpling means it may also be enjoyed as a dessert.

Many Scottish producers of sausages, sliced sausages, black pudding, white pudding, and haggis also make fruit pudding. It is not uncommon to find a "breakfast pack" consisting of sausage, sliced sausage, black pudding, and fruit pudding available for sale in Scottish shops.
