Plum Pudding Chemistry

Plum Pudding ChemistryPlum pudding is one of those little known but really great desserts. It's that delicious and elegant classic, full of body, with that special touch of chocolate, strawberries and a hint of vanilla. It's also been known to keep your appetite in check.The traditional recipe calls for boiling a pot of water and adding three pounds of strawberries, one pound of raisins and one pound of sugar. You will then have a thick pudding-like consistency that can be eaten cold or eaten hot. This makes it a perfect sweet treat for when you want something a little different from your usual banana cream pie or chocolate cake. If you prefer it hot, you can actually cook the ingredients separately before adding them together for a nice and hot dessert.In a modern time, the science class I had was taught by a science teacher named Ms. Kelsey and she had me try this delicious dish on the first day of school. She said she would make me drink some lemonade mixed with some milk to test my tolerance. To her surprise, I drank more lemonade than milk and after my first test, I was amazed how high the tolerance level was. My teacher loved it so much that when I turned into a chemistry student, she used a similar recipe for all of us to try.The syrup itself has a formula to it, based on the simplest possible chemistry equation. Sugar, water and corn syrup are combined together until it forms a thick and milky syrup. There are many recipes for this syrup and each one has its own unique ingredient list.The recipe calls for using raspberries, cherries and a combination of vanilla and cinnamon. Using these simple ingredients makes the best plum pudding. A good blend of flavors works best for this kind of dish, the raspberry and cherry flavor coming through strongest in my opinion.I tried several recipes for plum pudding before I found the one that my teacher liked best. She used cherries to boost the flavor, as she said that they were one of the best sources of antioxidant s in the fruit. But the combination of sugar and cocoa added to the cooking liquid helps the syrup to stay softer and provides a smoother texture.The chemical formula for this delicious dessert can be found online at the link below. It's pretty straightforward and you can use your own imagination with the mixture to come up with your own version of the most delicious dessert you've ever tasted. Plum pudding is one of those desserts that do not disappoint and that you will crave after you try it. I love it!
